QUALITY RECORDS & TRACEABILITY
Connect each result to the sample and method it actually represents.
A useful quality record names the candidate, document, test or inspection method, revision and approval status. It does not treat a generic equipment image as order evidence.
PROJECT SCOPE
The minimum traceability chain
The visible references support discussion only. Final material identity, construction, performance, tolerance and order terms require project-specific confirmation.
Candidate identity
Record the sample, series, batch or order reference that the observation or document applies to.
Method & result
Name the test, inspection or source document and preserve its units, date and stated scope.
Approval status
Separate received, reviewed, accepted, rejected and superseded records so later teams use the right version.
