1. Is every warranty-replaced part tagged with the claim reference number immediately upon removal from the vehicle?;
2. Does the tag include sufficient detail (VIN, date, part number) to trace the part back to the original claim without ambiguity?;
3. Are tags securely attached and legible, with no parts found loose, untagged, or with illegible tags during the audit?;
4. Is a parts retention log maintained, cross-referencing each stored part to its claim number and storage location?;
5. Is a designated, secure storage area maintained exclusively for warranty parts pending inspection or return?;
6. Is the storage area organised (shelving, bins, labelling) to allow any specific part to be located quickly when requested?;
7. Are parts stored in a manner that preserves their condition for inspection (e.g., fluids contained, fragile parts protected)?;
8. Is the storage area secured against unauthorised access, removal, or tampering with retained parts?;
9. Are parts retained for at least the minimum period specified by OEM policy before disposal is considered?;
10. Is a documented disposal log maintained, recording the date, authorisation, and method of disposal for each part released?;
