This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
This Directive shall apply to containers commonly called bottles, made of glass or any other substance having such rigidity and stability that it offers the same metrological guarantees as glass, when such containers:
are stoppered or designed to be stoppered and are intended for the storage, transport or delivery of liquids,
have a nominal capacity of between 0.05 litre and five litres inclusive,
have metrological characteristics (design characteristics and uniformity of manufacture) such that they can be used as measuring containers, i.e. when they are filled up to a specified level or to a specified percentage of their brim capacity their contents can be measured with sufficient accuracy.
These containers shall be called measuring container bottles.
