Reserve samples and retains

Reserve samples refer to representative quantities of raw materials, finished products, or reference standards retained to facilitate retesting if initial results are non-conforming. These samples are stored under specified conditions to ensure integrity over a defined retention period, which in raw materials is typically up to 6 years, and one year after the expiry date for finished products. Proper labeling, storage, and periodic inspection (visual and physical) are essential components of the process.
