It binds an independent test to the exact software, tools, workplace, staffing and recovery setup that passed. When one of those changes, the seal shows which claims are suspended and sends only the affected parts for retesting. Workers and suppliers can challenge a change record. Buyers see current proof, the reason it changed and the expected retest date instead of trusting a badge that quietly went stale.",
