Start with identifiers
Check the document number, material name, lot number and report date. The lot on the report should match the label and your receiving record exactly.
Review the evidence
Look for named methods, numerical results, acceptance criteria and the underlying chromatogram or mass spectrum when supplied.
Confirm the source
Identify the issuing laboratory or organization and retain the original file. If authenticity is uncertain, use the issuer's published contact channel to ask whether the report identifier is genuine.
