Stempelbasert

Stempelbasert is a Norwegian adjective used to describe processes, systems, or practices that rely on stamps or seals as the central mechanism for authentication, validation, or labeling. The term emphasizes that the stamp, rather than other forms of verification, provides the key function in the workflow. In practical use, stempelbasert can refer to anything from administrative procedures to quality control methods where a physical stamp serves as the official mark.

Etymology: the word combines stempel (stamp, seal) with basert (based), indicating a foundation or method built around stamping.

Applications and contexts vary. In postal or philatelic contexts, a stempelbasert process may highlight the postmark as the primary indicator of date and routing. In administrative or legal settings, a document deemed valid or authorized only after an official stamp is affixed can be described as stempelbasert. In manufacturing or warehousing, stamps may be used to mark inspected items, batches, or compliance checks, providing a simple, tangible form of verification. The term can also be used more loosely or metaphorically to describe systems that simulate stamp-based validation, though such usage is less common and context-dependent.

Overall, stempelbasert functions as a descriptive label for any approach where stamping is the defining feature of verification or authorization.
