After reduction, an identifying disk, tab, or other permanent label shall be placed with the reduced human remains container or containers before the reduced human remains are released from the licensed reduction facility. Each identification disk, tab, or label shall contain the license number of the reduction facility and shall have a unique number that shall be recorded on all documents regarding the decedent and in the reduction log. Each reduction facility shall maintain a written procedure for identification of remains.

The license of the reduction facility shall be suspended pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, if no identification procedure is produced for review after 15 working days have elapsed.
