When the Equipment Register was developed in phase 1 unique codes were given to each piece of equipment. Make a label with the equipment code for each piece of equipment present in the laboratory.

Optionally: A second label could be added that indicates when last maintenance/calibration was performed and when the next service is due. This assures the users of the equipment that they use a properly functioning piece of equipment. This label needs to be renewed each time the piece of equipment has been services. The label with the equipment code is permanent.

Both labels must be resistant to fluids, chemicals, light, and wear and tear during normal use and cleaning of the equipment.
