certificates of analysis must be verified by the individual whose name

agent who affixed the name or signature, or both. When a name or 
signature, or both, is affixed by an authorized agent, the initials of

certificate marked ``Void.'' Otherwise, errors may be corrected, 
provided there is evidence of satisfactory correction procedures as 
follows:
