Sample Measurements - Page Contents
The Sample Measurement page is for reviewing what the determined base size sample's measurements should have been, and comparing this with the measurements actually received. The Measurements determined for the next stage will be reflected in the 'Next Stage Base Measurement' column. Any discrepancies out of tolerance will reflect the discrepancy value in red.
This page only needs to be included if needing to share a review of the sample with the manufacturer. When entering a new stage of sampling, it would be recommended to share the tech pack with any updated measurements for the next sample stage.
