Proyecto de Norma Metrológica Peruana PNMP 001:2019 "Requisitos para el etiquetado de preenvasados" (Draft Peruvian Metrology Standard (PNMP) No. 001:2019, "Labelling requirements for prepackages") (21 pages, in Spanish)

Draft Peruvian Metrology Standard No. 001:2019, "Labelling requirements for prepackages", sets out requirements for the labelling of prepackages with respect to the identity of the product, the declaration of responsibility for a prepackage and the quantity of product in the prepackage. It applies to prepackages with constant nominal quantity and to products with random nominal quantities which are prepackaged and bear a quantity declaration. The draft Peruvian Metrology Standard does not cover labelling requirements for reasons of health, safety or tax, or for other purposes such as date limit for sale or use, storage conditions, etc. Declarations of ingredients on labels or nutritional information on the labels of food products, whether compulsory or not, are also not covered by the draft Peruvian Metrology Standard.
