Sec. 101-27.204  Types of shelf-life items.



    Shelf-life items are classified as nonextendable (Type I) and 

extendable (Type II). Type I items have a definite storage life after 

which the item or material is considered to be no longer usable for its 

primary function and should be discarded. Type II items are those for 

which successive reinspection dates can be established when the items 

have a continued usability as determined by examination based upon 

criteria that have been agreed upon. Examples of Type I items are drugs 

and medicines with certain characteristics. Examples of Type II items 

are paint and ink.
