When selling an SLCP, which action is required?

• A. Only the product’s quantity must be logged
• B. Purchaser's identity must be checked and a log of the purchase must be kept
• C. No action required
• D. The transaction must be reported to the local police

Answer: (B)

Selling List I chemicals requires safeguards to prevent diversion for illicit use. The key action is to verify the purchaser’s identity and maintain a purchase log. Federal regulations require that you check who is buying these chemicals and keep a record of the sale with details like the purchaser’s name and address, the date, the product, and the quantity. This log must be kept for a set period (typically at least two years) and be readily accessible for inspection. Logging only the quantity misses the essential control, and there’s no blanket obligation to report every sale to local police. The identity check plus the purchase log are the protections designed to curb misuse and help enforcement track suspicious activity.
