How BatchGlow handles this

Components, drug product containers, and closures shall be retested or reexamined, as appropriate, for identity, strength, quality, and purity and approved or rejected by the quality control unit in accordance with § 211.84 as necessary, e.g., after storage for long periods or after exposure to air, heat or other conditions that might adversely affect the component, drug product container, or closure.

How BatchGlow handles this

Every time a container is staged or weighed, its lot is checked again: QC-accepted, not past its expiry date, and not on a recall, stability or OOS hold.
