4. Limits of this specimen
A real report records conditions observed at one site on one date. It is commercial due diligence only. It is not a certificate, accreditation, laboratory result, conformity assessment or guarantee of product quality, future production or delivery. Large orders should use an independent pre-shipment inspection and laboratory testing by a qualified third party.
