Identity.(a) When a specific identity test meeting the provisions of § 610.14 of this chapter cannot be performed, the manufacture of each lot shall be separated from the manufacture of other products in a manner that will preclude adulteration, and records made in the course of manufacture shall be in sufficient detail to verify the identity of the product.

(b) [Reserved]

Sterility.(c) A sterility test shall be performed on each lot of each Allergenic Product as required by § 610.12 of this chapter.

Records.(f) The records related to the testing requirements of this section shall be prepared and maintained as required by §§ 211.165, 211.167, 211.188, and 211.194 of this chapter.
