This work evaluated the three fundamental characteristics of performance that must fulfill a package: Protection, functionality and motivation. For it, a series of tests reported at national and international level were evaluated. The tests were classified in two great groups: Physical tests and physical-chemicals tests; in the other hand, the biological tests used to evaluate quality of this kind of materials are not included in the proposed protocol because this quality control test are not considered currently. As resulting from its experimental evaluation, it was developed a unified protocol and a guide for routine quality control test of the packages and plastic material.

Keywords : analytical guides; quality control; containers; packages; plastic materials; quality control procedures.
