QA and QC records: which statements are true?

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 1 and 3
• C. 2 and 3
• D. 1, 2, and 3

Answer: (B)

QA and QC records serve different but complementary roles: QC records capture the live measurements and test results that show equipment and image quality stay within specified limits during routine operation, while QA records document the quality management system itself—policies, procedures, audits, training, and ongoing process improvement. When a question asks which statements about QA and QC records are true, the correct choices usually align with these points: QC records verify performance against tolerance limits and are used to detect deviations, whereas QA records provide evidence that the quality system is functioning, including adherence to standards, completed audits, and implemented corrective actions.

I don’t have the exact text of statements 1, 2, and 3. Please share those three statements so I can map which two are true and explain why the chosen combination best reflects how QA and QC records are used.
