Sample inspection report
DEMO / ILLUSTRATIVE · Illustrative Full Witness format · PW-DEMO-001
A buyer-designated decision-critical check is unmet.
What needs attention
The required protective insert is absent in this fictional example. Logo-position criteria need clarification. The visible finish and recorded height meet the illustrative brief.
What the conclusion means
Resolve the packing mismatch before relying on that detail. A confirmed match elsewhere does not cancel a decision-critical finding. This report says nothing about uninspected production or food-contact safety.
Findings against the brief
7 illustrative findings shown.
| Check | Buyer’s requirement | Recorded observation | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface appearance | Matte finish; no obvious chips in visible areas | Visible surface matches the supplied reference | Green · Meets agreed check |
| Sample height | 92 mm ± 2 mm | 91.8 mm recorded in this fictional example | Green · Within agreed range |
| Logo position | Centered to buyer artwork; offset tolerance not supplied | A placement difference needs a clearer reference | Amber · Clarification required |
| Received contents | 1 mug, 1 retail box, 1 printed insert | All listed sample items present | Green · Matches received checklist |
| Protective packing — decision-critical | Molded protective insert required in the buyer brief | Required protective insert absent from the fictional received sample | Red · Does not meet brief |
| Food-contact / chemical safety | Excluded from observational scope | No laboratory testing performed | Not assessed · Not a pass |
| Bulk-production consistency | Excluded; received sample only | No random production-lot sampling performed | Not assessed · Not a pass |
