SLES Information
Shelf-Life Extension System (SLES) is the DoD Shelf-Life Management system regarding internal shelf-life policy information for the life-cycle management of standard and hazardous shelf-life items contained in the Federal supply system.
SLES is also the central DoD data repository for Materiel Quality Control Storage Standards (MQCSS) and the Quality Status List (QSL). SLES users search the Materiel Quality Control Storage Standards (MQCSS) and Quality Status List (QSL) databases to view data elements required to determine if a shelf-life NSN can be extended. MQCSS provides guidance on inspection, testing, and storage requirements for Type II extendible shelf-life materiel. MQCSS is the authority for shelf-life extension when visible inspection only is required. QSL contains the results of previously completed laboratory extension testing.
SLES is accessed via the DLA Enterprise External Business Portal (DLA EEBP) . (CAC enabled)
