Identify the relevant market
Record where the product was supplied or used, the commercial route and the relevant dates. International distribution does not mean one legal framework automatically governs every incident. The scope of the review should identify which markets are being examined.
Use current local authority
Where a legal conclusion is required, verify the applicable local legislation and qualified advice. Separate a draft proposal, a published law and a provision that has commenced. Keep the source and check date visible so a later reviewer can inspect the basis.
Keep portfolio records reusable
Use consistent product and version identifiers across markets, while keeping market-specific documentation distinct. The same technical artefact may support several reviews, but conclusions about obligations, responsibility or remedies may need separate analysis.
Records that help the review
Use the following as a practical starting point. Select and preserve records appropriate to the product, incident and applicable procedure.
- Market and supply dates
- Distribution route and business roles
- Applicable local sources
- Scope and date of professional review
