Evidence priorities

• Composition

  Define the object and the question, then identify the controlled record that answers it. Keep the basis, supporting evidence and limits with the resulting conclusion.

• Intended contact conditions

  Define the object and the question, then identify the controlled record that answers it. Keep the basis, supporting evidence and limits with the resulting conclusion.

• Analytical method

  Retain the method, assessed configuration, conditions, results and decision together. A report title alone does not establish the scope or limits of the conclusion.

• Sample and batch traceability

  Show the differences between supplied variants and assessed specimens. Explain the coverage argument for each difference and identify questions that require further evidence.

A complete file connects the product definition, requirements, assessment evidence and production changes. Read the standard's full requirements when designing the assessment; the index provides the official entry point.
