It is expected that sufficient controls are in place to ensure that correct labels are applied during a
labelling operation and that printed packaging materials are accounted for.
One acceptable means of meeting this requirement is to issue an accurately counted number of labels. That
number should be reconciled with the number of labels used, damaged and returned to stock.
In theory, the target set in your procedure should be “0″ deviation for labels and other printed packaging
materials. Any significant or unusual discrepancy observed during reconciliation of the amount of bulk
product and printed packaging materials and the number of units packaged is investigated and satisfactorily
accounted for before release.
