Quality documentation should help a reviewer answer specific questions. It should be legible, attributable, relevant to the exact product record and internally consistent.
Core checks
- Can the document be matched to the product and batch?
- Are dates, identifiers and responsible parties clear?
- Does the scope of the document support the statement being made?
- Are methods, results and limitations presented without selective wording?
Documents are not decoration
A certificate image or technical-looking graphic should never be used as a generic trust badge. Evidence must be specific and reviewable.
Record the gaps
When documentation is missing or incomplete, mark the field for review. Do not replace a missing source with confident copy.
