The purpose of tamper-evident packaging is to alert consumers of possible safety concerns before they purchase or use goods.
This code of practice provides guidance on tamper-evident packaging for therapeutic goods. Compliance with the code improves the security of therapeutic goods supplied in Australia and increases the likelihood that consumers can identify when a product has been tampered with.
The code is not mandatory, but it has been established as a condition for membership for some relevant industry associations.
