A batch identifier organizes documentary traceability; it does not replace results describing the material.

Batch versus catalog reference
A batch is a quantity produced under defined conditions and expected to be homogeneous within specified limits. Its identifier connects it to records. A catalog reference may cover several different batches.

Follow the same identifier
Compare the identifiers on the container, sample and report. If a catalog keeps the same name but the batch changes, do not automatically transfer earlier results. Documentary matching links records; quality is evaluated through the corresponding results and criteria.

Questions about this reference
Is a batch number the same as an order number?
No. A batch identifies production; an order identifies a commercial transaction that may include several batches.
