I had a question come to me from a High School, who is being dinged by a
regulatory person. I don't have a definitive answer/source.   Can you help?

One major question I have is the idea of =93shelf life=94.  As a chemist, I
 know
that some chemicals degrade over time.  But the ones that create a hazard
upon degrading are few and far between.  What are the rules about shelf lif
e
particularly for inherited old chemicals?  What actions are required and
what are merely suggested?

Thanks!
