Which records demonstrate that equipment has been properly decontaminated and can be returned to service?

• A. Decontamination certification
• B. Equipment readiness logs
• C. Issue/return records
• D. Spare parts catalog

Answer: (C)

Records showing the item has been issued back into service, the issue/return records, provide the official trail that decontamination occurred and the equipment was cleared to be used again. This documentation confirms not only that the decontamination process was completed, but that the item has been evaluated and re-entered into circulation for issue to users. A decontamination certification alone proves the process happened, but doesn’t itself prove the item has been reissued; readiness logs track overall status rather than the explicit decon-to-service trail; and a spare parts catalog isn’t relevant to confirming decontamination and return to service.
