EON RESEARCH LIBRARY // Article

Report identifiers and product names answer different questions

A product name identifies a catalog item; a report identifier identifies a laboratory document. Several reports can concern the same product, and a product name alone is usually insufficient to distinguish those documents.

For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Start a document record with its source URL, issuing laboratory and report identifier as supplied. Keep the product association as a separate field. This makes it possible to correct a catalog name without losing the connection to the underlying certificate.

Reading checklist
