Chain of Custody: an introduction

Chain of Custody sits under Standards & Sampling in the Labs & Quality section. This introduction sets out what the topic covers and what it leaves to neighbouring topics, so a reader can tell quickly whether they are in the right place.

What it covers

The terms an engineer or a planner meets first, the decisions the topic informs, and the evidence those decisions usually rest on.

Where to go next

The other entries under Standards & Sampling take each part further, and the encyclopedia holds the definitions, parameters and standards they cite.
