Start with the job, then choose the material
A practical brief turns an attractive material sample into a decision you can defend.
ExploreMaterials & evidence
Keep the claim with its evidence.
A useful record says what is known, who said it, what it covers and when it applies. A reassuring badge cannot do that work.
Unknown
Information has not been supplied or its applicability is unresolved. Keep the gap visible and request the missing fact.
Declared
The responsible source has supplied information. Attribution does not establish independent verification.
Reviewed
An attributable review has considered the document against a stated purpose and scope. Review is not automatically independent assurance.
Independently assured
An actual independent assurance result exists for the specified subject, method, period and scope. Preserve its limits.
Useful field guides

Keep ink, coatings, adhesives, laminates and fixings with the substrate record.
