These bottles are also suitable for the preparation and storage of microbiological growth media. Nominal volumes, dimensions with limit dimensions, material, design requirements, designation and marking are specified. The European Standard was adopted by CEN/TC 332 "Laboratory equipment" of the International Organisation for Standardization ISO. It has been prepared by ISO Technical Committee TC 48 "Laboratory equipment". All of the specified committees are under German secretariat. The responsible German mirror committee is Working Committee "Glasgeräte und Apparate" ("Glassware and glass apparatus") (NA 055-01-03 AA) at DIN Standards Committee Laboratory Devices and Installations.
