Start the evidence review with the question each report answers. Safety, electromagnetic compatibility and performance reports describe different tests. Collect the results relevant to the proposed model, market and claim, and leave each unresolved item visible in the approval file.
| Buyer question | Evidence to request | Boundary to record |
|---|---|---|
| Which safety requirements were assessed? | Safety report, test standard edition and sample construction | Tested ratings, components and variants |
| What was assessed for emissions or immunity? | EMC report with applicable methods and test modes | Cable layout, accessories, operating modes and sample identity |
| What output did the sample deliver? | Performance report and method or buyer protocol | Test conditions, units, result and limits of the claim |
Bureau Veritas describes safety and regulatory testing. SGS’s performance-mark service describes separate performance assessment. These services illustrate what to ask for. A service page cannot establish the evidence supplied for your purchase.
Apply the same evidence structure to different products
For DUP-ROS-004, link the evidence to the rated electrical configuration and identify the fitted abrasive and dust arrangement if relevant to the test. For DUP-AS-001, connect a claimed spray or flow result to the exact hose, tip and conditions used. These catalogue references illustrate sample identity and make no claim that a report exists for either model.
Write the result, issuer, method, edition and configuration on one row per evidence item. For a customer-facing claim, use wording the supporting report actually covers. Escalate any mismatch before using the result as a label or market-entry decision.
Buyer FAQs
Does a performance pass settle an EMC question?
Request evidence for the EMC methods relevant to the market and version. Performance results answer the stated performance protocol.
What if one PDF covers several test types?
Index the sections separately and record the method and sample basis for each decision.
