Article 11.This Directive shall apply to products put up in prepackages in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Directive 76/211/EEC and which are mentioned in the Annexes hereto; it shall not apply to prepackaged products intended solely for professional use.2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, this Directive shall also apply to the knitting yarns referred to in point 11 of Annex I, presented in a different form of packaging.

Article 2The products referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into three groups:(a)products sold by weight or by volume save those products referred to in (b) and (c).Annex I lays down for each of these products the range of nominal quantities of the contents of the prepackages;(b)products sold by weight or by volume and put up in the rigid containers listed in Annex II, save for those products listed in Annex I.Annex II lays down for such products the range of capacities for such containers;(c)products put up in aerosol form.Annex III lays down the volumes of the liquid phase for such products and, in the case of metal containers, the capacity of the container.

Article 3Prepackages shall in all cases indicate the nominal weight or volume of the contents of the product in accordance with the requirements of Directive 76/211/EEC.In the cases referred to in Article 2 (b) and (c), the containers shall also indicate, in such a way as not to lead to any confusion with the above indication, their nominal capacity, in accordance with the provisions of Annex II and point 1 of Annex III, or where applicable, a reference to the EN standards mentioned in the Annexes.

Article 4Where a multipack is made up of two or more individual prepackages, the ranges of values listed in Annexes I, II and III shall apply to the individual prepackages.Where a prepackage is made up of two or more individual packages which are not intended to be sold individually, the ranges of values listed in Annexes I, II and III shall apply to the prepackage.

Article 5Member States may not refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market of prepackages which satisfy the requirements of this Directive, on the grounds of their nominal quantity in the case of prepackages listed in Annex I and point 2 of Annex III, or of the nominal capacity of their containers in the case of prepackages listed in Annex II, or for either of these two reasons in the case of products listed in point 1 of Annex III. Pre-packages containing the products listed in point 11 of Annex I may be marketed after 31 December 1989 only in the nominal quantities given in point 11.

Article 6Before 1 January 1982 Member States may not refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market of prepackages which satisfy the requirements of Directive 76/211/EEC, where the nominal quantity in, or capacity of, the container has a value which is not shown in this Directive and which were placed on the market of the Member States concerned at the date of its notification.The first paragraph shall not apply to the measures which will be taken by the United Kingdom and Ireland to define ranges in SI units.

Article 7Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within 24 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of internal law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.
