Zusammenfassung:	A tamper-evident closure assembly (10) is provided for a container (12) having a neck (34) defining an opening (36). The closure assembly includes a base cap (14) configured for securing with the neck (34) and including an aperture (122) for providing access to the opening (36) of the container (12). The closure assembly (10) further includes an overcap (16) configured for securing with the base cap (14) and configured to cover the aperture (122) when the overcap (16) is secured to the base cap (14). First and second tamper-evidencing members (18 and 20) are associated with the base cap (14) and the overcap (16), respectively. The first tamper-evidencing member (18) provides an indication when the base cap (14) has been removed from the neck (34), and the second tamper-evidencing member (20) provides an indication when the overcap (16) has been removed from the base cap (14).
