NACM Technical
Cider Makers of all sizes across the UK are faced with a significant level of technical and legislative requirements to meet the standards set by regulators.
NACM and its members have a dedicated Technical Committee, forming a panel of experts, who focus on two main areas:
- Technical requirements
- Cider makers are required to provide accurate information for finished ciders. This can include alcohol content, juice content, and some may choose to declare calorie or other nutritional information.
- Legislative requirements
- Many cider makers need additional support to meet the requirements of HMRC, Trading Standards and other regulatory bodies. NACM will provide confidential support for any UK cider maker on request.
- Many home cider makers would like the opportunity to sell their cider. Here is a brief guide to what is required – Setting up a cider business *Updated March 2021
- If you would like guidance on how to label your cider please take a look at our guide Cider Labelling Guide
