14.1 The system shall allow for accurate inventory management of all standards, reagents, and consumables used for laboratory testing. The system shall also be able to link manufacturer documents such as material safety data sheets and in-house instructions to their respective materials.
14.2 The inventory system shall allow a material to be clearly identified as a controlled, regulated, or hazardous substance and flagged based on its physical and/or chemical stability.
14.3 The system shall be capable of tracking standard and reagent consumption and expiration such that a list of items nearing reorder level or expiration date can be produced on demand.
14.4 The system should be capable of tracking standards and volumetric solutions created in-house such that concentration, purity, and molarity factor are recorded and made available during calculation of results.
14.5 The system shall be capable of applying review statuses to a standard or reagent's properties, also requiring additional review if properties such as vendor lot number or expiration date are changed.
