Match the sample to your brief
Review the features that matter to the intended use. Where appropriate, physically check the sample instead of relying only on photographs.
- Dimensions, fit and finish
- Materials, colors and branding
- Function and intended application
- Packaging, labeling and included components
Record changes clearly
Separate approved details from requested revisions. Use a dated specification or annotated images so your team and the supplier can refer to the same version.
Agree what happens during production
Confirm which sample or revision is the reference, what inspections will be arranged and who needs to approve any changes.
