After materials arrive, traceability comes first when using cross-section or calliper photographs to help check dimensions. HUAGE recommends identifying the material examined, its packaging and the relevant specification fields together. Photographs communicate observations; they do not replace the agreed project measurement method or formal inspection.
Photographs should first make the corresponding material identifiable
Before photographing, record order items, packaging identifiers and the extracted boards so overall and section images correspond. Do not keep an unnamed enlarged section and later guess its design from colour. Number different dimensions or top-layer configurations separately rather than reuse one image set across product records.
Photographs should show board orientation, the relevant area and context, with calliper readings retained as observations. Explain measurement positions, tools and operation rather than cropping to one number. Whether images answer the question depends on actual clarity and method; a professional appearance does not automatically make them inspection findings.
Match observations to the correct fields
Identify whether a thickness record concerns the overall board or solid wood top layer. Visible layer boundaries do not permit accurate pixel-based measurement. Section photographs suggest questions about layers; obtain definite figures through methods suited to the actual product and project agreement. Phone images cannot replace required measurements.
A calliper photograph records one location under particular handling, not uniformity across every board position, box or batch. Projects define acceptance, measuring points and scope; the website creates no universal tolerance. If readings differ from approvals, check object, units and method before requesting review.
Keep discrepancy records until the issue is closed
Keep specifications, physical identifiers, photographs and replies together, marking preliminary observations and completed reviews. For dimension or top-layer questions, locate affected materials and their use status, then discuss whether installation should continue. Similar-looking boards do not make one explanation applicable to all supply.
Update checking results in arrival documents rather than leave them only in a chat image. Further sections, formal measurements or configuration descriptions should retain the same material identity. This preserves investigation leads and clearly limits the photograph's role, preventing an auxiliary record becoming unsupported batch-quality evidence.
