16. Report Cards and Inspection Date Card

a. There are five report cards (12, fig. 2) each contained in a moisture-resistant envelope. A completed report

card is enclosed in the envelope with samples of unknown agent taken in white- band sampling tubes (para 30). Samples

are forwarded for analysis and identification to the chemical laboratory designated in the unit's SOP.

b. The inspection card (5) remains in the kit at all times. On it are recorded the dates on which the kit was inspected

for condition of components. The date on the inspection card also provides a check of the discard date stamped on the

outside of the carrier to determine if detector kit should be exchanged for a new one.

NOTE

Plastic pockets furnished with present kits are no longer needed. Future kits will not

include them.
