The result was recorded without a verified analyst identity. Records that cannot be traced to a specific, authenticated user fail the Attributable principle and are not defensible during inspection.
The record's entry timestamp precedes the instrument acquisition time, indicating data was entered out of sequence. Contemporaneous capture requires recording at the time work is performed.
A reported value was edited after it had moved to an approved state, and no change reason was captured. Silent edits to original data break the chain of custody.
The manually transcribed result does not match the instrument's exported value. Transcription errors directly compromise result accuracy.
Chromatographic peaks were manually integrated but no justification or before/after comparison was retained. Manual integration must be documented to remain defensible.
The reported result is not linked to its source raw-data file, so the underlying evidence cannot be retrieved on demand. Available records must be reproducible from source.
The analytical run references a calibration that is missing required curve points or a documented verification standard. Incomplete calibration evidence undermines result accuracy.
A measured value exceeds the method's acceptance limit but was not flagged as out-of-specification. Unflagged OOS results can be reported as passing in error.
The sample identifier on the bench worksheet does not match the identifier in the instrument sequence. Inconsistent identifiers create ambiguity about which sample produced the result.
The record was stored without a retention class, so its required preservation period cannot be enforced. Enduring records must carry retention metadata.
Timestamps on the same record mix local time and UTC without a declared zone, making event ordering ambiguous.
The scanned reviewer signature is partially cropped and cannot be read clearly. Records must remain permanently legible to all reviewers and inspectors.
