Process
Confirm one production version.
Review the sample and its agreed files together before the run.
- Identify the sample and drawing version being confirmed.
- Confirm the material, dimensions and any agreed artwork.
- Review the sample observations and any remaining changes together.
- Confirm the filling, assembly and outer-carton instructions that apply.
Keep these files with the same approved version. When a component changes, identify the affected files and agree what needs another check.
Use the sample approval record
Next step
Read the scope of each document.
Use the drawing or record for the product and conditions it describes.
Read the named product, material or sample, the version and the conditions covered by each document. Discuss how those details relate to the pack you will use.
A drawing describes a design. A material document or a test record covers its stated scope. Confirm the checks needed for the assembled pack with your own product.
