Materials Issue Log Template

A materials issue log for recording material issued from stores - the date, quantity, the serial or batch number and description, and who it was issued to. One running log gives you control of what material went where.

Knowing which material, by batch or serial number, went into which job is central to traceability, and supports the identification and traceability requirements of a quality management system aligned with ISO 9001 (clause 8.5.2).

Built for Material Traceability

The log captures the material-control detail traceability needs:

• The date each material was issued
• The quantity issued
• The serial or batch number and description of the material
• Who the material was issued to

What's Included in this Materials Issue Log

The form is set out as a single running log:

• Day / date - when the material was issued
• Quantity - how much was issued
• Serial / batch / description - the serial or batch number and description of the material
• Issued to - who received the material

Who Needs a Materials Issue Log?

Any manufacturer, fabricator or workshop that issues material from stores to jobs and needs to trace it by batch or serial number. It suits businesses working to ISO 9001, and to BS EN 1090 where material traceability is required.
