For laboratory documentation, the following should be
recorded from the actual container and batch COA:

• Manufacturer
• Product code
• CAS number
• Batch/Lot number
• Assay
• Manufacturing date
• Expiry/retest date
• Certificate of Analysis (COA)

The batch-specific COA takes precedence whenever an
exact batch specification is required.
