Materials to be sampled include the following, EXCEPT:

• A. Intermediate products
• B. Raw materials
• C. Records
• D. Final products

Answer: (C)

Sampling in quality work targets physical materials that go into making a product. Raw materials are tested to confirm they meet specs before use, ensuring the starting inputs are sound. Intermediate products are sampled to monitor the process and catch issues as production proceeds. Final products are sampled to verify the finished item meets the required quality before it leaves the facility. Records, on the other hand, are documentation of procedures, tests, and results rather than physical materials to be tested. They’re reviewed or audited for compliance and traceability, but you don’t take a sample of a record to test product quality. So the item that doesn’t belong as a material to be sampled is records.
