How to match an equipment document to its model and revision
Document applicability means whether a manual or specification actually covers the item being discussed. Match model, variant and revision before reading its numbers as facts about another device. A brand name alone is too broad a match.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Model identity comes before specification comparison.
- Access date is different from document revision date. [1]
- Documentation for one model does not establish another model’s features.
Copy the exact identity
Begin with the identity subset of the complete applicability row below: device model, variant or region code, and document title. Distinguish a product-family page from a model-specific manual. CND’s Visible Light Lamp page names a particular product; its statements should retain that scope. [2]
Keep dates in separate fields
Keep the document’s issue or revision date in one field and your access date in another. HSA’s SDS guidance illustrates the distinction: the document’s date appears on its first page and change information can appear in Section 16. In your equipment record, copy a revision only when the actual equipment document supplies one. Saving a file today does not establish a new revision. [1]
Make an applicability row
Use one proposed row with these fields: device model; variant or region code; serial range; document title; document number; revision identifier; document issue or revision date; market; language; source URL; access date; match status. Mark an unrecorded value explicitly. Check the title page and applicability notes, not just the download link. Use “exact match” only when the document explicitly covers the recorded model and all relevant variant, revision and serial constraints; “named-product only” when the published name matches but that applicability is not established; “excluded” when the stated scope rules out the item; “unresolved” when the evidence does not permit a decision. Request the applicable document before assigning specifications to an unresolved item.
A named product is not a matched manual
An example using the same fields is: device model—CND Visible Light Lamp; variant or region code—not recorded in this example; serial range—not supplied in the page text; document title—CND Visible Light Lamp; document number—not recorded; revision identifier—no revision identifier shown; document issue or revision date—not recorded; market—not recorded; language—not recorded; source URL—https://www.cnd.com/products/cnd-visible-light-lamp; access date—4 October 2026; match status—“named-product only”. This records the named product, not confirmation that an operating manual covers a particular device, serial range or revision. Obtain that manual’s applicability information before assigning its specifications. [2]

- CND — CND Visible Light Lamp
Manufacturer material
Page heading and product description identify CND Visible Light Lamp. NailWiki’s inspection on 4 October 2026 found no displayed page-revision identifier or serial-number applicability range in the page text. This is an observation of the product page, not confirmation that an operating manual covers a particular serial-numbered device.

Commercial resource from our ecosystem
The project owner states that BELOM A2 has completed laboratory testing and that documentation for the applicable EU CE-marking requirements is prepared. NailWiki has not examined the reports or conformity declaration. Keep that attributed statement separate from independently examined model documents; a report for a different model cannot establish BELOM A2 airflow, noise or dust-capture performance.
