Lot traceability is the property of a supply chain in which any given container can be linked back to the batch of material it was filled from, and forward from that batch to every container filled from it. It is what makes a certificate of analysis mean anything: a certificate describes a lot, and without traceability there is no established relationship between the lot it describes and the vial in hand.[1]
The link is carried by the batch number and is only as strong as the weakest transfer in the chain. Every point at which material changes container, changes hands, or is combined with other material is a point at which the link can be preserved by record-keeping or lost by its absence.[2]
