The short answer

Check the report’s issuer, date, tested sample, material, decoration, method and scope. Confirm that the evidence is relevant to the actual product and intended destination.

A report can be genuine without covering the bottle configuration being purchased. A different coating, closure material or product-contact component may require additional assessment.

Match the sample identity

Compare the report’s sample description with the ordered bottle and any relevant components. Ask the supplier to explain the link if the model code or material description differs. Review the complete report, not only a cover image.

Ask the responsible compliance team

Provide the intended contents, destination and complete pack specification to the qualified parties handling suitability and compliance. Requirements depend on the project; do not infer blanket approval for every use from one test result.

Procurement checklist

Common question

Can one report cover every decorated version of a bottle?

Do not assume it does. Review whether the tested materials, decoration and relevant contact conditions match the version being ordered.
