What is recorded on all forms if the material is not accepted?

• A. Records recorded in triplicate.
• B. The weight of mix for the day.
• C. Rejection Reason
• D. When delivered, original copy of ticket shall be presented to the Engineer.

Answer: (C)

When material is not accepted, the important detail to capture on all forms is the rejection reason. Recording this reason provides clear documentation of why the batch failed to meet specifications, which guides how the material is handled, whether it needs rework or disposal, and what corrective actions are required to prevent recurrence. It also ensures traceability between the test results and the disposition of the material, so everyone involved understands the exact nonconformance.

Other options describe administrative or operational data (like daily weight totals, duplicate records, or delivery paperwork) that are useful in their own right but do not explain why the material was rejected. The key point for rejection documentation is to state the specific cause of nonconformance so the correct corrective steps can be taken.
