Capacity Marking

Stay Compliant with Capacity Marked Drinkware

For businesses serving alcohol in licensed establishments such as bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, and cafes, ensuring accurate drink measurements is a legal requirement. BBP’s capacity-marked drinkware guarantees that you’re serving the correct volume every time, giving both businesses and customers confidence in every pour.

A capacity mark indicates that a glass has been legally verified for accurate measurement. It can appear as a line mark or a brim measure, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. The specific mark required depends on the country of sale, with the UKCA mark used in the UK and the CE mark used in the EU.

Line-Measured Glasses

A clear, visible line on the side of the vessel indicates the exact legal volume, making it easy to pour accurate servings.

CE Marking (European Union)

For businesses operating within the European Union (EU) , CE marking is the required certification for verified drink measurements. CE-marked glasses follow similar principles to UKCA-marked glasses, ensuring:

• Legal verification for accurate measurement

• Clear capacity marks, either by line or brim

• Compliance with EU measurement laws
