How to interpret the answer
- Compare the identification method with the buyer's actual grade and contamination specification.
- Retain equipment genealogy, material segregation and authorized handling records without dismantling instructions.
- Compare sample and test methods with the alloy or contamination requirement being evaluated.
- Keep source-to-shipment genealogy, scale tickets and downstream disposition records.
