How to check compatibility documentation without assuming a match

A compatibility record asks whether the manufacturer’s documents cover a specific proposed combination. Name both items and preserve the statement’s scope. Similar brand language or the word “LED” is not a documentary match by itself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Record both sides of the proposed combination.
  • Preserve manufacturer scope and version. [1]
  • Use unresolved when the pair is not documented.

Identify the pair

Start with the identity subset of the complete row below: item A is the exact coating system and item B is the lamp model. Record the document revisions for both items in the revision field. Do not compare an unnamed gel with an unnamed lamp. This step defines the question without selecting operating conditions.

Locate a direct statement

CND describes its Visible Light Lamp in relation to its own light-curable systems and recommended exposure times. That is a product-specific manufacturer statement. Record the passage and any linked instructions rather than expanding it to every product sold elsewhere. In the proposed exact-pair record, this family-level passage names the lamp but does not identify an individual coating system as item A. Keep the result unresolved until the documents identify both exact items for that pair. This records a documentary limit, not incompatibility.

Complete a pair-specific result

Use one complete proposed row: item A; item B; manufacturer; document revision; applicability passage; conditions; result; reason; supplier question. Keep the manufacturer and document revision for each item distinguishable. Choose documented for this pair only when the examined manufacturer statement identifies the exact item A and item B and explicitly covers their combination under the recorded conditions; explicitly excluded when it rules out the pair; unresolved when the documents do not establish either conclusion. Record the supporting passage or the precise gap as the reason. A family-only statement that does not identify the exact item A and item B remains unresolved for this record, even when it broadly covers a product family. Ask the supplier for documentation of the exact pair; do not treat unresolved as explicitly excluded. Mark the supplier question not applicable when none remains.
