What needs to be clarified
The task is to link documents to the goods and identify properties relevant to classification reasoning without choosing a convenient name in advance.
Materials to prepare
- Shipment documents and batch markings
- The product document and complete laboratory report with sample details
- Product photographs and manufacturer explanations
What to compare
- Trace identification of the batch, item and tested sample.
- Compare the meaning of terms and the properties actually measured.
- Separate supported characteristics from matters requiring clarification or further examination.
Possible outcome of the analysis
The result may be a consistent goods description and reasoned questions for the manufacturer or testing provider to support a classification position.
Limits of the conclusions
Reading a report is not a new laboratory test; missing data cannot be concealed by substituting one material name for another.
