The terms “Tamper-Resistant” (TR) and “Tamper-Evident” (TE) are two terms that are often used to describe the security of storage, but these terms have very different meanings. Knowing the difference between these terms is important when determining what is best for your application.
Let’s Define The Terms:
Tamper-Resistant refers to a feature of the item secured by a security seal that is created to resist access to the product. Tamper-Evident describes a feature that makes unauthorized access to the product easily detectable by the consumer. The concept of “Tamper-Proof” is not used by regulatory agencies since no security seal design is considered impenetrable.
Who’s at Risk?
Food and drug manufacturers carry the highest percentage of burden, but there is risk in almost all industries when TR or TE security seals is not used in its storage and transport process. Other industries have benefitted from implementing features appling a security seals to help preventing unauthorized open of storage or transfer containers with logo and sequential serial number imprint.
