I. Security Checks

Ensure that all safety measures are in place before inspection. This includes (but is not limited to) wearing appropriate protective gear such as safety eyewear, gloves, and lab coats.

II. Label Check
Verify that the chemical labels match the order, including the chemical name, purity, CAS number, date of manufacture, shelf life, and any other key information.

III. Packaging Check
Confirm that packaging is intact, with no signs of breakage or leakage. For hazardous chemicals (flammable, explosive, corrosive, etc.), ensure that the packaging complies with relevant safety standards.

IV. Quantity Check
Confirm that the quantity or weight of the delivered chemicals matches the purchase order.

V. Quality Check
Where feasible, perform basic quality assessments such as visual inspection, solubility tests, or purity tests.

VI. Documentation Check
Review all accompanying documentation, such as Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), to ensure completeness and accuracy.

VII. Recordkeeping
Maintain detailed records of the inspection process and report any discrepancies or issues immediately.

Note: This checklist serves as a general guideline. The exact inspection process may vary depending on the nature of the chemicals and purchaser requirements. Always comply with applicable safety regulations when handling chemicals.
