Revised ISO/IEC Guide 41 to be published later this year

For the past two years, the ISO Committee on consumer policy (ISO/COPOLCO) has been working on the revision of the ISO/IEC Guide 41. This third edition of ISO/IEC Guide 41 cancels and replaces ISO/IEC Guide 41:2003 which has been technically revised.
This document provides guidance to people like standards developers, product designers, manufacturers and regulators. This document gives the general recommendations to be taken into consideration when determining the most suitable type of packaging for goods intended for consumers. The final meeting of the working group was held on 19 and 20 March 2018 and the publication of the revised ISO/IEC Guide 41 is expected by the end of this year.
