Bulk bottle liquids dating

Our practice has been to date all bulk bottles ( liquids) with date opened but are considering discontinuing this practice. In speaking with several manuf, product is good until expiration listed unless otherwise specified.I have not found any regulations mandating this practice. Since some bottles are low use ( and expensive $500) we do not want to discard after a year which seems to be what we have done in the past. Any thoughts?
