§ 213.125 Labeling issuance.

(a) Labeling and packaging operations must be controlled to prevent labeling and product mix-ups. Procedures shall be written and followed describing in sufficient detail the control procedures employed for the issuance of labeling. (b) Procedures shall be used to reconcile the quantities of labeling issued, used, and returned, and shall require evaluation of discrepancies found between the quantity of medical gas and the quantity of labeling issued when such discrepancies are outside narrow preset limits based on historical operating data. Such discrepancies shall be investigated in accordance with § 213.192. Labeling reconciliation is waived for cut or roll labeling if a 100-percent examination for correct labeling is performed in accordance with § 213.122(f)(2). Labeling reconciliation is also waived for 360° wraparound labels on portable cryogenic medical gas containers. (c) All excess lot number stickers or decals bearing lot or control numbers shall be discarded. (d) Bulk or transport containers (as defined in § 201.161(c)(3) of this chapter) are exempt from this section.
