01 · CONSTRUCTION
List every relevant product element.
The base ball, pigments, surface graphics, coatings, inserts and packaging may all be relevant to a compliance or odor review. A product description should identify what is actually being supplied.
02 · ODOR
Use an agreed reference and handling conditions.
Odor perception can be affected by formulation, packaging, storage and ventilation. If odor is commercially important, state the requirement early and agree how approval will be judged.
03 · RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES
Name the market and required protocol.
Do not request a vague ‘safe material’ statement. Provide destination market, intended age grading, required standard and any customer-specific restricted-substance protocol.
04 · CHANGES
Recheck when the product changes.
A new color, print, insert or material source may affect whether previous test evidence remains applicable. Confirm document scope for the final order.
