How should shelf-life material be marked if stored in non-original containers?

Shelf-life material, when stored in non-original containers, should be marked with the original shelf-life expiration codes to ensure proper tracking and management of the material's lifespan. This approach allows personnel to accurately identify the date by which the material should be used or discarded, maintaining compliance with safety and quality standards.

Using the original shelf-life expiration codes helps to avoid any confusion that might arise from miscalculating the shelf-life of the material once it is transferred to a different container. It ensures that the integrity of the material is upheld and that all users are working with the correct timelines for use.

Marking with just the date of purchase, the current date, or a general expiration label does not provide the necessary information to manage the material effectively and might lead to using expired or potentially unsafe materials. Therefore, utilizing the original shelf-life expiration codes is the best practice for managing shelf-life materials in non-original containers.
