How to correctly complete the BevForm?

⚠️ Before you start

Always use final, production-representative beverage data
Do not estimate or approximate values
Ensure alignment with your Filler / Beverage Producer / Laboratory
If data is missing, testing may be delayed or invalid
Data marked with a red star are mandatory data. BevForm without these data will be returned to sender.

🎯 Section-by-section guidance

1. Details Beverage

What is mandatory

Beverage name
Formulation code
Beverage Category

✅ Correct example

Beverage name: Sparkling Peach Tea
Formulation code: PT-2026-04-FINAL
Category: Ice Tea / Tea products
Specification: Carbonated tea with 5% peach juice

❌ Incorrect example

Beverage name: Peach drink
Formulation code: -
Category: Soft drink

Issue:

No traceability (missing formulation code)
Category too vague → may lead to wrong liner selection

2. Processing

What is mandatory

CO₂
LN₂
Tunnel pasteurization / Sterilisation

✅ Correct example

CO2: 5.5 g/L
Tunnel pasteurization: Yes
Temperature: 62°C
Time: 20 minutes

❌ Incorrect example

CO2: standard
Pasteurization: Yes
Temperature: -
Time: -

Issue:

“Standard” is not a measurable value
Missing thermal parameters → critical for coating resistance evaluation

3. Acid and pH of ready product

What is mandatory

Citric Acid
pH

✅ Correct example

pH: 3.25
Total acidity (as citric acid): 4,800 mg/L

❌ Incorrect example

pH: ~3
Total acidity: low

Issue:

Approximation is not acceptable
Prevents accurate corrosion risk modelling

4. Special Compounds of ready product

What is mandatory

Free SO2
Total SO2
Chloride (Product mix-water)
Chloride (Beverage Formulation)
Copper

✅ Correct example

Chloride (water): 45 mg/L
Chloride (formulation): 120 mg/L
Copper: 0.03 mg/L

❌ Incorrect example

Chloride: not high
Copper: unknown

Issue:

Chloride and copper are key corrosion drivers
Missing values = high technical risk

5. Organic Acids Profile

✅ Correct example

Citric acid: 3,500 mg/L
Malic acid: 800 mg/L
Acetic acid: 50 mg/L

❌ Incorrect example

Citric acid: yes
Other acids: -

Issue:

Presence alone is insufficient
Concentration determines aggressiveness

6. Additives

✅ Correct example

Artificial sweetener: Yes
Type: Aspartame
Amount: 120 mg/L

Preservative: Yes
Type: Potassium sorbate
Amount: 200 mg/L

❌ Incorrect example

Sweetener: Yes
Preservative: Yes

Issue:

Missing type and dosage
Some additives interact with coatings differently

7. Ingredient Declaration

✅ Correct example

Water, sugar, peach juice (5%), citric acid, natural flavouring,
ascorbic acid, potassium sorbate, aspartame

❌ Incorrect example

Standard ingredients (see label)

Issue:

No usable information for technical validation

📦 Sample submission checklist

✅ Correct

BevForm printed and included in shipment
Samples correspond to final product
Clear labeling (product name + batch)

❌ Incorrect

No form included
Lab samples differ from declared formulation
Missing identification
