A specification is a list of analyses and for each analysis you can define the range of tolerance. It means that a lot to be accepted must reveal all results within the relevant range.
If all results are all right, then the lot is approved.
What happens if one or many results are out of range? 4MACS can activate several procedures –that must be pre-decided-: mostly sending warning messages to pre-defined recipients to ask for extensive and in-depth examination. The final decision will be either to accept or to reject the lot. The certificate remains associated to the lot for any further examination regarding the item, the supplier, the cross reference of involved lots of the employed ingredient, etc.
For instance, if in future there are problems with a lot of a product –imagine a complaint regarding PAO or worse- 4MACS allows you to keep all drawers and filing cabinets perfectly closed: just enter search for the item, enter the lot number and you get all certifications involved of all employed lots of all employed ingredients with the indications of trade names, suppliers, costs, who has done each single analysis and when, etc.
