Ammonium Formate Receiving Inspection: Packaging and Moisture-Control Checklist

Quick answer: Release ammonium formate only after the physical lot, package labels, purchase order and batch COA agree. Record package condition and warehouse controls instead of relying on product appearance alone.

Match the shipment to the approved order

Check product name, grade, lot, package count, net weight and destination documents against the purchase order.

Record any substitution or specification revision and route it through change control before release.

Inspect packaging before sampling

Document tears, open seals, wet areas, unusual deformation and pallet or container damage.

Quarantine affected units so that intact and potentially exposed packages are not mixed.

Review lot documents as a set

Connect the label lot number to the COA and confirm that reported items use the agreed units and limits.

Use the current SDS and specification for handling and release decisions; a generic certificate is not a batch COA.

Control storage and opening

Follow the current label and SDS, keep the agreed pack properly closed and document warehouse conditions relevant to the approved material.

For partial bags, define resealing, identification and first-in-first-out rules.

Buyer checklist
