  • Another thing that might be included in a verification report is sample traceability. In the reports used at my company, there is a place to fill out part numbers, lot numbers, and production date of the samples that are used in the test. This allows for better traceability if there is a failure, and other defective parts will be able to be identified.

    Another example in deviation can be in sample size. One time I was testing an initial sample of an injection molded part for which the protocol called for a certain sample size. However, upon learning that the supplier was using 3 different molding cavities for the part, it was decided that the sample size would be increased to include samples from each cavity. The justification for this increase in sample size was explained in the “Deviations from Test Protocol” section which you have described.
