What should I check on a laboratory report?
Evidence
Check product and sample identifiers, receipt and test dates, laboratory identity, analytical methods, reporting units, limits, uncertainty and the actual test scope. Distinguish a measured result from a specification limit. Keep the full report link when available and avoid applying one sample’s results to every batch or market version.
