Improper handling of Shelf-Life items is reported using which form?

The appropriate form for reporting improper handling of Shelf-Life items is the DD Form 1225. This form is specifically designed for reporting discrepancies related to items that have a shelf life and whose integrity may have been compromised due to improper handling or storage conditions.

Using this form allows for systematic documentation of incidents that could potentially affect the quality and safety of Shelf-Life items, ensuring that appropriate actions can be taken to investigate and address the issues. This aligns with the goals of the DoD Shelf-Life Program, which seeks to maintain the effectiveness and safety of military supplies throughout their shelf life.

Other forms listed, while important in various contexts, serve different purposes. For example, SF 364 is used for Report of Discrepancy (ROD) for reporting problems with delivery or receipt of supplies, DD Form 1608 is related to the inventory of items, and SF 368 serves as a quality deficiency report. Therefore, the use of DD Form 1225 is uniquely suited for addressing the specific concerns associated with Shelf-Life items.
