The CRA provided the following statement with this release. ” The “Plastics Materials, Processing, Equipment & Tool Making” guidance document deals mainly with plastics processing and mould making issues . A CRA/industry task force is presently completing this document with a final section on scale-up and related issues. The first part of this section deals with validation; it was added in August 2005. Further sections of this chapter will deal with feasibility studies, experimental runs on commercial equipment, prototypes and pilot plants, continuous improvement and technology transfer.”
