What is recommended regarding field certification labeling on a BSC?

• A. Prominently display field certification label on BSC
• B. No label required
• C. Label must be placed inside the cabinet
• D. Label must be removed after certification

Answer: (A)

Field certification labeling on a BSC should be prominently displayed on the exterior of the cabinet so staff and inspectors can quickly verify that the cabinet has been tested and is currently certified for use. The label typically shows the certification date and the next due date, providing immediate evidence that the airflow and containment performance meet the required standards before sterile compounding begins. Placing the label inside the cabinet makes it unreadable and does not support ongoing verification, and removing the label after certification undermines quality control. Not labeling at all misses a fundamental QA requirement and could lead to using an uncertified cabinet.
