The receiptCondition on a ChainOfCustody is the lab's plain-language summary of whether the shipment arrived in acceptable condition. Typical values include "acceptable," "cooler seal broken," or "samples intact, temperature within range." If the receiptCondition indicates a problem, the analytical results from that shipment may carry data qualifiers or be invalidated entirely. Review this field when results arrive to identify any acceptance flags before incorporating data into your compliance reports.
