These are suggested operational checks to apply to your own evidence. They are not additional legal requirements or claims that the workspace automates this entire task.
Step 2
Select representative records from each relevant group and include known problem cases.
Step 3
Record why each item was selected and the scope of checks performed.
Step 4
Expand the review when findings suggest a shared issue, while keeping unreviewed products explicit.
Worked example
A store checks its five best-selling products, all from one supplier, and treats the whole catalog as reviewed.
What the reviewer finds
- The original sample excludes a new supplier.
- Several unreviewed products have different instruction arrangements.
Resulting record
A sampling plan with coverage gaps and expansion triggers.
Boundary: Sampling is an operational prioritization method and does not prove compliance of unsampled products.
