Professional approach
The work centres on the object and the questions posed: what exactly needs to be established, the product's material, where the marking is located, how it was applied and whether there are signs of damage or alteration.

What you should
- record the overall appearance of the product and the location of the marking;
- take sharp close-up photographs from different angles;
- preserve the surface without cleaning or further intervention;
- distinguish technical features of the marking from the legal assessment of the product's authenticity.
Combined examination
If the dispute concerns material, coating, chemical exposure, product authenticity, product quality or a manufacturing defect, combined work with a materials scientist, commodity expert, chemist or specialist laboratory may be needed.
