Our quality control system is built in accordance with the requirements in ISO 9002. Thus all procedures are described and documented in our quality control records.

Documented inspection is carried out at the machines every second hour where three consecutive cycles are taken aside to check for possible moulding faults or discolouration etc. Additionally, one of these cycles is examined for deviations in weight. After two hours, the cap threads are tested on glass and plastic containers, respectively. The breakability of the tamper seal is also checked. Eventually an examination of the critical dimensions is carried out.

In addition one box on each pallet is subject to a finished products inspection before dispatch. Boxes that have undergone the final inspection are marked with our control stamp, and certificates are enclosed. The documentation is kept on file for a period of at least two years for traceability unless other requirements are necessary.

Our quality control system ensures an error ratio close to zero.

WP PharmaCap

For the WP PharmaCap the following special requirements are also in force: All internal transport of the screw caps from the machines to the assembly and packaging department and the actual assembling of the outer cap and the threaded ring take place in dust controlled surroundings. All staff in contact with the products in the manufacturing, assembly and packaging units wear hair nets and are overall subject to several internal procedures regarding cleanliness.

Before the screw caps are marketed:

Before we put a new item into production, we test it thoroughly under the same conditions as it will have to function under later on. This is done to ensure a smooth manufacturing process as well as a reliable closure and optimum sealing. Certain screw caps undergo further external testing with the Danish Technological Institute in conformity with various standards.

All raw materials are approved for contact with food products. WP PharmaCaps are made from raw materials which are approved especially for contact with medicines in conformity with the European Pharmacopoeia.
