The size of lower-case characters shall be determined by the height of the letters without a down stroke (for example, e, o, u, n).
The height of the upper-case characters shall be typographically consistent with the height of the lower-case characters.
If the dimensions and the shape of the container permit it, the space for marking shall have a minimum size of 120 mm × 70 mm. All the other requirements specified in 7.1 shall be followed, with the exception of the minimum/ maximum size ratios given in 7.1.2, which should be approximated.
