Abstract
There has been a long-standing quality program described in 10 CFR Part 71, for Type B packaging. In addition, Title 49 CFR Parts 173.474 and .475 define quality controls for packaging and pre-shipment examination. However, at many facilities, this is the extent of the quality program. The purpose of this paper is to discuss other components of an effective quality program and their role in regulatory compliance.
