Batchspecifieke

Batchspecifieke is a concept used to describe characteristics, requirements, or decisions that are unique to a single batch of a product, material, or data set. The term combines the English word batch with the Dutch adjective specifieke (specific), and it is employed in contexts where operations are organized around discrete production runs or processing units rather than continuous flows. The emphasis is on attributes that can vary from one batch to another and must be treated as distinct for quality, traceability, or performance reasons.

In manufacturing and quality assurance, batchspecifieke concepts are central. A batch record or batch production record documents all steps, materials, and test results for one batch. Batch specifications define acceptance criteria such as impurity levels, potency, appearance, and physical properties that must be met for release. If a batch fails to meet criteria, investigations, deviations, and disposition decisions are recorded, and the batch may be rejected or reprocessed. Traceability systems link materials, processes, and testing to each batch, enabling recalls and regulatory compliance and supporting root-cause analysis.

In data processing and software, batch-specific processing refers to tasks carried out on a defined set of data in a single run, identified by a batch ID. Batch-specific logs, outputs, and error reports support reproducibility and auditing, and they help isolate issues to a particular batch of data or computation.
