On the template ‘Portable Equipment: Asset Control Form’, there is a section for “Asset number” and “Mobile number”. What do these refer to?
The intention of including ‘asset number’ in the template register was to provide a reference to link between the register and the asset itself for tracking purposes. For example, a pharmacy may find it helpful to include a sticker on the asset with an assigned asset reference number. The intention of the ‘mobile number’ field was to record mobile phone numbers however note that under this requirement, it is only necessary to track mobile phones that are being used to store personal information. The templates are a guide but should be customised, where necessary, to suit local circumstances.
