  • Where the status could not be confirmed, sent a request to the document owner: the developer or the manufacturer
  • Recorded a status for each specification: valid, not valid, withdrawn or replaced, and by which document
  • Attached evidence or the request letter to every status
  • Worked from a data extract, with no access to client systems
