QA/QC Committee

Can Failure History Survey

The QA/QC Committee is gathering can failure data to identify recurring issues and research needs. Together, these reports can also give the industry a stronger, evidence-based case when working with can manufacturers and suppliers to improve their products. Any findings shared more broadly are aggregated and de-identified. No CWC account or login is required to submit this form.

On confidentiality, honestly: only Cory has access to the raw responses. He'll keep it as locked down as he knows how — but this runs on a handshake and personal trust between industry folks, not a corporate compliance department. If that's not enough assurance for a particular incident, leave the identifying fields blank.
