| PROTECT YOUR IPPC & HT QUALITY MARK STAMPS! | 2007-06-22 |
The importance of protecting your individual IPPC and/or HT quality mark stamps cannot be over emphasized. The loss, theft or misuse of your stamps creates a tremendous liability for your company and the potential loss of certification in the program!
As a reminder and as stated in the agreement signed by each facility that subscribed to NELMA’s Wood Packaging Material’s inspection services….
Agreement Item No. 10: “The Facility agrees: to use only official quality mark stamps furnished by the Agency. The Facility will not mutilate the stamps or permit their alteration in any way and will take reasonable measures to protect and safeguard the stamps against damage, theft or misuse.”
NELMA Inspectors will begin checking your stamp inventory as part of their standard inspection procedures at to your facility. Never throw away or destroy any quality mark stamps….save them and give to your NELMA Inspector to officially remove them from your inventory. Working together with these periodic inventory checks will help ensure the protection of your company’s integrity and that of the overall export packaging program.
If you have any questions or wish to order replacement stamps and/or supplies please ask your NELMA Inspector, call the NELMA office at 207-829-6901 or email donna@nelma.org . | |
