If SF-153 is not used, what else is acceptable for EKMS inventories?

• A. Another form previously approved by EKMS Manager
• B. Any generic form
• C. An email memo
• D. A handwritten note

Answer: (A)

Documentation for EKMS inventories must be standardized and officially approved. If SF-153 isn’t used, the acceptable option is a form that has been previously approved by the EKMS Manager. This keeps inventory records consistent, auditable, and compliant with EKMS procedures because the approved form includes the required data fields and an official approval status. A generic form lacks official approval and may omit necessary fields. An email memo or a handwritten note is informal and not a controlled document, so they do not meet the requirement for formal inventory records.
