What information must be kept on record for the sale of SLCPs?

The requirement to keep a record of the purchaser's name, address, and date of transaction for the sale of Scheduled Listed Chemical Products (SLCPs) is rooted in regulatory measures aimed at controlling the distribution of substances that can be used in the illicit manufacturing of controlled substances, such as methamphetamine.

By documenting the purchaser's name and address, law enforcement agencies can track the buying habits of individuals to prevent abuse and diversion of these substances. The inclusion of the date of transaction also helps create a timeline that can be essential for investigations into potential illegal activities. Maintaining such detailed records assures compliance with federal and state regulations, which is crucial for pharmacy operations and helps uphold public safety.

Only having the purchaser's phone number and address, or just the product name and amount sold, does not meet the comprehensive tracking requirements established for SLCPs. Similarly, recording only the transaction amount is inadequate since it lacks essential information about who purchased the products and when, thus failing to support law enforcement efforts effectively.
