What to review

Use these questions to assess the records provided for your selection. Document availability and testing scope must be confirmed for the relevant compound and lot.

  1. 01

    Compound Identity

    Product Reference

    Compare the compound name and identifiers in a supplied report with the product listing.

    Why it mattersA report should clearly identify the material it describes.

  2. 02

    Lot Reference

    Lot Information

    Ask whether the report relates to the lot being offered. Check any supplied lot identifiers.

    Why it mattersA record for one lot does not establish results for another.

  3. 03

    Methods

    Analytical Scope

    Read the methods named in the report. Ask which measurements were performed and which were not.

    Why it mattersA result only supports conclusions within the scope of the documented method.

  4. 04

    Results and Units

    Reported Values

    Review the reported values, units, limits and qualifications in the supplied document.

    Why it mattersA catalog specification or badge is not a substitute for a laboratory result.

  5. 05

    Report Source

    Issuer Details

    Check the report issuer and document reference. Ask support about missing or unclear information.

    Why it mattersThe source and scope of a record matter when assessing its relevance.

  6. 06

    Dates

    Document Context

    Review the report date and any sample dates that are supplied.

    Why it mattersDates help distinguish the supplied record from another report or lot.

  7. 07

    Missing Records

    Document Requests

    Contact support to ask whether a COA or SDS is available for the compound and lot you intend to order.

    Why it mattersAvailability must be confirmed. Do not assume a test was performed because a product is listed.

Before you order

Check the scope. Ask about the gaps.

Relevance

Compare the report with the compound and lot being offered. Do not infer results for other materials.

Scope

Read which analyses the record includes. A result does not establish unreported properties.

Availability

Contact support about records that are not linked. A request does not guarantee a document is available.

Request available documentation.

Include the compound, listed strength or format, and any known lot reference in your inquiry.
