A wet or detached label can hide identity or status.
Separate identity and status
Identity, quarantine status and single-use seals have different lifetimes.
Field test
- Surface and label type
- Washing, cold, abrasion
- Legibility
- Controlled removal
Check barcodes or text with the reader used in operation.
If a label is lost, verify identity from an independent asset record; do not guess.
