Connect each claim to evidence

Identify the model and test conditions supporting a performance claim. Check certification scope through the relevant program. Resolve origin claims through the applicable analysis rather than relying on a shipping address.

Verify production output

Compare the printed or digital result with the approved artwork. Confirm that labels are applied to the correct model and revision. Include packaging changes and distributor data in the release review.

Keep the claim current

Review claims when configuration, specifications, authorization or certification status changes. Read Reviewing Product Labels and Technical Claims.
