How long must QA keep completed SE misuse and abuse forms?

Quality Assurance (QA) must keep completed SE (Support Equipment) misuse and abuse forms for a period of two years. This retention period is established to ensure adequate tracking and auditing of incidents involving support equipment, which helps in identifying patterns of misuse, taking corrective action when necessary, and maintaining the overall integrity and safety of operations involving SE.

By keeping the forms for two years, QA can effectively analyze data over a significant timeframe, allowing for improved decision-making and preventive measures against future misuse or abuse. This duration balances the need for accountability without overwhelming the records management system with unnecessary documentation beyond that timeframe.
