Please let us know if you have any questions regarding these exemptions.
ALSC has informed all agencies that IPPC marks used by the facilities they monitor must be updated to the current format by July 1st of this year. The format (shown above) with the trademark on the outside of the box is the most current format that will be required for every facility to use. Many facilities are already using this format and will be unaffected by this requirement. Your inspector will be discussing this transition with you and will be able to determine if new marks are required at your facility. This requirement applies to all types of mark applications including stencils and brands. Please note that this requirement will not affect the validity of any previously marked WPM with the older format. Please talk with your inspector if you have any questions regarding this issue.
