GOST 30407-2019 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 30407-2019 — "Посуда стеклянная для пищи и напитков. Общие технические условия" (Glassware for food and drinks. General specifications). This interstate (GOST) standard establishes general technical requirements, tests, marking, packaging and storage rules for glass tableware and related glass items intended for contact with food, beverages and potable water.

Abstract

GOST 30407-2019 is a modernized replacement of the earlier GOST 30407-96 and consolidates requirements for types of glass, manufacturing and decorative methods, allowable defects, hygienic and mechanical properties, and conformity assessment for glassware used with food and drinks. It sets unified terms and testing references to other glass and packaging standards to ensure safety and interoperability across manufacturers and testing laboratories.

Scope

The standard applies to glassware of various designs made of colourless and/or coloured crystal or soda–lime–silicate glasses (as referenced to GOST 24315) intended for use in contact with foodstuffs, beverages, water and other food products. It covers general requirements applicable across product families (tableware, drinkware, decorative food-contact items), but delegates specific test methods and classification to referenced standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of glassware types and materials (including references to GOST 24315 and related glass standards).
• Physical and mechanical requirements (dimensions, strength, resistance to thermal and mechanical shock as applicable).
• Hygienic and chemical requirements for food contact (hydrolytic resistance, leachable substances and chemical safety tests referenced to applicable GOST methods).
• Permissible defects and visual quality criteria; allowable tolerances for appearance and dimensions.
• Marking, labeling and information to accompany products (materials, intended use, manufacturer identification, safety notices).
• Testing procedures and sampling rules (references to specific test standards and methods for verification).
• Packaging, storage and transportation requirements to preserve product quality and safety.
• Conformity assessment: referencing national/regional certification and declaration regimes where applicable.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of glass tableware and drinkware, importers and exporters, testing and certification laboratories, quality engineers, product designers and retailers that place glass food-contact products on markets governed by GOST/Interstate technical regulations. Regulators and compliance consultants also use the standard when assessing market conformity or aligning national rules with interstate practice.

Related standards

GOST 30407-2019 cross-references and is used together with a number of glass and packaging standards, for example GOST 24315 (types of glass and manufacturing/decoration methods), GOST 33202-2014 (hydrolytic resistance of glass), GOST 30005-2016 (glass packaging defects and terms), GOST 17527-2014 (packaging terms) and other measurement and test method standards cited in the normative references. It replaces GOST 30407-96.
