The present invention relates to a recognition system for recognizing containers to be filled with a given type of product, wherein the containers are equipped with a device for closing and opening the mouth through which the product to be introduced into the container is designed to pass. The closing and opening device is equipped with NFC electronic identification means. A corresponding reading and writing device for reading and writing said NFC electronic identification means is provided in the station for filling of the container and, in view of accommodating the container and the device for closing and opening its mouth, such station is conformed with at least the area configured to receive the device for closing and opening the mouth having a three-dimensional shape that mates the three-dimensional shape that the closing and opening device assumes when it is open to allow the container to be filled and/or emptied through the mouth.
