Packaging seals and QR labels are traceability aids, not proof of origin. This article explains what to record, what evidence to request, and how to keep part identity, fitment, provenance, sample results, and batch acceptance separate.
No. Packaging seals and QR labels are supporting records only. Origin must be traced through part identity, supplier documents, import and delivery records, and manufacturer confirmation where available.
A direct answer and evidence checklist for traceability from order line, part identity and batch code to the supplier test report and remote-site delivery record.
Packaging seals and QR labels are useful records, but they are not proof of origin. Check part identity, source documents and batch records before acceptance.
A traceable batch link requires a purchase order line, a supplier packing list, a test report with the same batch/lot code, and a site goods receipt record. Missing any shared identifier breaks the batch conclusion.
