A batch number — equivalently a lot number — is the identifier assigned to a quantity of material produced under uniform conditions. It appears on the container label and on the certificate of analysis, and it is the only thing connecting the two.[1]
The number itself carries no information about quality. Its function is referential: it allows a determination recorded against a lot to be applied to a container, and it allows a container to be traced to production records. A batch number with no records behind it is a string of characters.[2]
