           Subpart 101-27.2_Management of Shelf-Life Materials

 

Sec. 101-27.207-3  Marking material to show extended shelf life.



    When the shelf-life period of Type II material (except for critical 

end-use items as described below) is extended, only the exterior 

containers of bulk stocks need be annotated or labeled to indicate the 

date of inspection and date material is to be reinspected. Individual 

units of issue not classified as having a critical end-use application 

are not required to be annotated or labeled as long as controls are 

established to preclude issuance of unserviceable material to a user. (A 

critical end-use item is any item which is essential to the preservation 

of life in emergencies; e.g., parachutes, marine life preservers, and 

certain drug products, or any item which is essential to the performance 

of a major system; e.g., aircraft, the failure of which would cause 

damage to the system or endanger personnel.) At the time of shipment, 

the date of inspection and date for reinspection shall be affixed by 

label or marked by other means on each unit of issue of Type II items 

having a critical end-use application.
