4-5. Surveillance. After acceptance of serviceable DS2, a surveillance log must be created and maintained for all DS2
items on hand. See Appendix E for a sample log showing information that should be kept on the log. Every six months,
after the date of receipt, a visual inspection shall be made of all the DS2 stock that is not crated or palletized. Each
container should have its surface examined including the bottom. In addition, close attention must be paid to the chimes
and side seam areas of all containers and spout areas of the 5-gallon pail. When inspecting the spout area of the 5-gallon
pail, remove the screw cap to inspect the threads for corrosion and to ensure that the container's seal has not been
punctured.  If minor deterioration is detected on a container, it should be noted in the surveillance log with a brief
explanation and the date of the inspection. The outer packaging of crated M13 Portable Decontaminating Apparatus units,
14-liter containers, and 1 1/3-quart cans should be inspected for wetness. If any are found to be showing wetness, the
packaging should be opened and the DS2 containers inside should be removed and checked for leakage. All palletized
pails of DS2 should also be visually inspected for evidence of leakage. Containers of DS2 are unserviceable if the surface
of any container has more than 40% surface area corrosion of if the containers are leaking. Five-gallon pails and 14-liter
containers are also unserviceable if they have dents longer than 8 inches; for 1 1/3-quart cans, dents should be no longer
than 2 inches.  If unserviceable containers are found, an entry should be made in the surveillance log, and the
containers(s) must be segregated from serviceable material, overpacked, and disposed of in accordance with Section VII
of this technical bulletin.
