Ethanol purchases
To be able to purchase ethanol, a person must obtain authorisation from their head of department/equivalent. A form must be filled in at the department and sent to the Procurement and Purchase Office. The address is on the form. Ethanol can then be purchased via the University's eCommerce system Produktwebben.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden does not require a permit to be obtained for purchases of ethanol for scientific purposes. However, anyone purchasing industrial alcohol that is not completely denatured is required to keep records of purchases, use and stocks of alcohol. Reasons for differences between purchased quantity and consumed quantity must be identified, documented and measures must be taken. The documentation must be saved for at least two years.
