BRC Packaging 5 will be published July 2015, but audits against it start January 1 2016, so you will be safe for your audit coming up.
As a side note, all BRC Standards can be freely downloaded at www.brcbookshop.com. There are several translations, depending on the Standard, that are also freely downloadable. It can be a little tricky to get the translation, notes bleow on how to do it.
