Do I need to purchase an original copy of the new revised standard?

Hello all,

I have a question.

My next BRC Audit scheduled in September / October. And the BRC/IOP Global Standard - Food Packaging issue 5 will be out on 01st July 2015.

Do i need to purchase an original copy of the new revised standard that i presume will supersede the issue #4.

Thank you & Regards,

AOA Sayed ,

This issue discussed in a previous thread the link is below , for the clause

1.1.5 The site shall have a genuine, current hard copy or electronic version of the Standard available.

BRC packaging material issue 5 page 15

Generally you should provide evidence to your auditor that the version you have is authorized , either downloaded from the bookshop BRC site ( if you are registered before ) or buy it ,for me I could not download it from the site  it does not work with me , more details are included in the below thread link .
