Handling, storage, packaging, preservation, and delivery procedures

Handling, storage, packaging, preservation, and delivery procedures (4.15.1) 

It is likely that you will need two types of procedure to cover these requirements, one general and the other specific. 

In addition to issuing the procedures you will need to reference them in the appropriate work instructions in order that they are implemented when necessary. In some cases it may be more appropriate to include these provisions as an integral part of other procedures rather than have separate procedures. Whatever the method, you will need traceability from the identification of need to implementation of the provisions and from there to the records of achievement. 

The standard requires the supplier to provide methods and means of handling that prevent damage or deterioration.
