Clause 6 – Evidence of Tamper

This specific clause requires that seals be designed and constructed with tamper evidence features that generate tell-tale evidence of tamper. The fundamental function of any seal is “indicativeness”, the ability to reveal evidence after attempts that have been made to tamper with the seal. In practical field applications, this calls for evidence available to visual or other inspection of a seal in situ by a commercial or regulatory person.

This clause also requires that, for high security seals desired to be Clause 6 compliant, the seal manufacturer can demonstrate the tamper evident properties and related documentation to the auditors of a process-review organisation accredited according to ISO/IEC 17020.(like for instance SGS); this shall occur as part of the seal manufacturer’s ISO 9001 Quality Operational Procedure, in accordance with a  number of practices related to security as outlined in the ISO 17712:2013 “Annex A”. The report of the accredited  auditing agency shall address compliance of the manufacturer’s tamper evidence program, including testing. For ease of use of its customer and regulatory relationships, manufactures may request a summary letter from the auditing agency that certifies such compliance.
