Separating devices for a blister tube include a blister tube feed device comprising a first transport means and an associated first transport means bearing, a blister discharging device arranged downstream of the blister tube feed device and comprising a second transport means and an associated second transport means bearing, a first drive coupled to the first transport means, and a second drive coupled to the second transport means, and a control device coupled to the first and second drives, the control device configured to temporarily exert a tensile force on the second portion of the blister tube in the transport direction with the aid of the second transport means, the tensile force being dimensioned in such a way that the second portion of the blister tube is separated from the first portion of the blister pouch at a separation aid. Methods and packaging devices using separating devices are also provided.

A method establishes the presence of specified characteristics of a container product (9, 11), more particularly of a plastic material. The value of at least one specified characteristic is automatically recorded and compared with the reference value for that characteristic in at least one testing station (1-7) of a testing device.
