Supplement Complaint Records Guide

Capture the issue clearly

Record the date, channel, order or customer reference, product identity, batch or lot where available, description of the concern and any immediate action without adding unsupported conclusions.

Connect the record to evidence

Link the complaint to current label, product documents, traceability information, images or correspondence that may help the responsible owner review it. A complaint record is not itself proof of cause.

Collect only information needed for the decision, restrict access and use suitable business procedures. Avoid making medical conclusions or publishing identifiable customer details.
