INDEXING<br />

Indexation is often computerized and provides complete and quick retrieval starting<br />

from any one of the indexed parameters.<br />

All study or lot specific materials are given a unique holding number that corresponds<br />

to location. Facility specific material is filed using common sense (i.e. chronologically,<br />

alphabetically).<br />

Indexing parameters which may be used:<br />

– Project or study number.<br />

– Test article/reference article and lot numbers for bulk and formulated material, if<br />

appropriate (tie–in with product accountability records).<br />

– Protocol number (may be same as study number).<br />

– Testing facility.<br />

– Key word retrieval from study title (route, species, etc.).<br />

– Key word retrieval from comments section of master schedule (e.g. regulatory<br />

information, dates).<br />

– Department.<br />

Retrieval from Archives<br />

Once an item has become an official central archives holding, the original should be<br />

subject to restricted access. It should be examined in situ with verbal authorization but<br />

only within the central archives area, and in the presence of the archivist. Photocopies<br />

should be provided upon request.<br />

Removal of original holdings from the central archive will be allowed only under<br />

exceptional circumstances when justified and authorized in writing. The history of<br />

each holding must be documented.
