Lab forms and approval states
Open the lab's forms
Expand the lab menu and choose Manage Lab Forms, or open View → Forms in the lab profile. Confirm the lab heading before reading or submitting records.
The captured page has a Pending Requirement Incomplete: Chemical Safety Form notice. That notice includes a link to the required form. It is distinct from existing submitted forms listed below it.
Filter existing forms
Use Type and State to narrow the list. Observed form types include Biological Research Project, Chemical Safety Form, Chemicals In Animals, Incident Report Form, Pathogen Registration Form, Permission to Work Alone, and Viral Vector Registration Form.
The table shows Form Title, Submitted By, Lab, Submission Date, Last Updated, and State. Sortable headings help locate recent work. Select a form title to inspect that submission. View Archived Forms opens a separate history.
Read the exact state
The state filter presents broad options such as Awaiting Review, Approved, and Not Approved, while individual rows can display more specific labels:
| Observed label | What to check next |
|---|---|
| Awaiting PI Certification | Check whether the PI certification step is outstanding |
| Awaiting EHS Review | Check with the responsible reviewing staff |
| Amended Awaiting Review | Check the amended record and its review status |
| Approved | Read the approved record and any applicable dates or conditions |
| Expired | Check whether a new submission or renewal is needed |
These labels were observed in the list; the complete transition rules were not tested. A submission timestamp or recent update is not itself an approval.

The submission entry links were verified, but the downstream selection screen, form fields, save behavior, and final submission were not inspected. Different form types can have different requirements and review steps.
