For quality, regulatory and compliance teams

The question is never “how many”. It is “which ones, and prove it”.

An audit, a recall or an excise query is about specific units. Aggregate scan counts are no help — what is needed is a record for the individual item, held for as long as the obligation lasts, and exportable in a form somebody else can check.

That is the same scan record the rest of these pages describe, read as evidence rather than as insight.

The full history held against one unit — manufactured, despatched, first scan claimed and scanned again — beside its retention period and export formats

What it gives you

A trail that survives scrutiny

Per-unit history

First scan, every scan since, and where each came from — for one item, not one campaign. The unit of evidence matches the unit of enquiry.

Export and retention

CSV and PDF on every plan, with history held for a period matched to your plan and your obligations. Nothing is locked in.

Scope a recall

Identify which units of a batch reached the field and where they surfaced, so a withdrawal can be bounded by evidence rather than by caution.

Where it is heading

The same identity carries the passport

Digital Product Passport obligations ask for per-item data held against the item itself — origin, materials, compliance, end of life. The identity that carries your scan record is the identity that carries that passport, so preparing for one is preparing for the other.
