Identify the responsible company and site
Ask which legal entity and location are responsible for the product under discussion. General company photos provide context but do not establish the production scope of a particular SKU.
Understand the relevant production route
Request an explanation of the steps that apply to the bar, including any relevant forming, drying, handling or packaging operations. Do not assume that a general cosmetics filling photo is evidence of solid-bar production.
Ask for product-specific quality information
Discuss the specification, inspection approach, traceability and available release information for the selected reference. The documentation you require should match your market and your internal review.
Confirm changes and handover
Record the agreed product, packaging and artwork versions and identify how changes will be communicated. Availability, order quantities, production dates and shipment responsibilities should be confirmed directly.
