Keeping a clear record of a composite sample
A useful sample record identifies the project, sample number, known materials, source or batch, date, approved method, supervisor and observations. Photograph the sample and note its dimensions and finish. Keep the record with the brief so someone else can understand why the sample was made.
Write down the limits too. A single classroom sample does not establish strength, fire behaviour, weather resistance, health safety or manufacturing repeatability. Those questions need appropriate tests and specialist review for the intended product. Keep exploratory findings separate from a performance claim.
