TL;DR

A carpet tile handover checklist should preserve the exact product identity, approved sample reference, installed zone record, current installation and maintenance documents, relevant report or certificate scope, retained-material record, contacts and unresolved items. Each file needs an owner, date and revision. A handover pack supports later facilities decisions; it does not guarantee future availability, colour matching, warranty coverage or project performance.

Facilities and procurement professionals organizing carpet tile samples, zone records and handover documents in an office lounge — Editorial handover context only; this is not a UNIJOY project, customer, approved sample, maintenance result or product record.

The direct answer: keep a traceable record, not an unlabelled folder

Facilities teams need to know what was selected, where it was used, which document was current at handover and what still requires confirmation. Keep product and zone records connected. Do not rename an image, sample or PDF as proof of a UNIJOY result, and request the current product-specific file before maintenance, replacement or alteration work.

What a carpet tile handover pack should contain

Handover field	Record or retain	Evidence boundary
Product identity	Record UNIJOY series, exact style/code, colourway, module, construction and backing exactly as shown in the approved record.	A photograph, generic collection name or visually similar tile cannot establish the installed product identity.
Zone and approval record	Map building, floor, room/zone, layout direction, approved sample or mock-up reference, approval date and responsible parties.	A zone map records a decision; it does not prove colour continuity, pattern matching or installation quality.
Current documents	List specification, installation and maintenance instructions, reports, certificates and warranties by issuer, title, date, revision and stated product scope.	A file name, logo or old PDF does not prove current validity, coverage or compliance for every tile.
Installation and change record	Retain installer/contact details, completion date, approved substitutions, deviations, repair areas and open punch-list or interface items.	A completion record is not a universal installation guarantee or technical acceptance of hidden conditions.
Retained material	Record carton/sample identity, quantity counted at handover, storage location, condition, custodian and any use or movement log.	Stored tiles do not guarantee a future visual match, usable condition, sufficiency or replacement availability.
Ownership and review	Assign the register owner, access location, review date and route for obtaining a current UNIJOY document or product response.	A static archive does not remain current unless revisions, changes and withdrawals are tracked.

Conceptual handover flow: the pack keeps identity, place, revision and ownership connected; it is not product, warranty or project-performance evidence.

What handover wording cannot prove

Wording	Evidence to request	Do not infer
“Complete handover pack”	A dated index that connects every item to the exact product, zone, issuer, revision, owner and unresolved question.	That every required project, legal, warranty or facilities record is present.
“Maintenance guide included”	The current product-specific guide, its revision and the exact product/zone relationship, plus a route for updated guidance.	A universal cleaning method, stain result, appearance life or warranty outcome.
“Spare tiles retained”	Counted identity, colourway or lot information where documented, storage location, condition and issue log.	Future availability, colour match, quantity sufficiency or fitness after storage.
“Warranty on file”	Current warranty text, holder/product scope, dates, exclusions, claim route and the records it requires.	Automatic coverage, claim acceptance or a project-performance result.
“As installed”	Approved identity and zone record plus dated change, substitution, repair and open-item logs.	That concealed work, substrate conditions or every installed area has been technically verified.

A facilities handover workflow

Start with the approved product identity and create one register row for each installed series, style/code, colourway and backing.
Map every installed zone and connect it to the approved sample, layout or mock-up reference used for that decision.
Index current specifications, installation and maintenance instructions, reports, certificates and warranty files by date, revision and scope.
Record substitutions, repairs, deviations, contacts and unresolved items; do not hide an open question inside a general completion note.
Count and identify retained material, record its storage location and custodian, and keep a movement or use log.
Assign a facilities owner and review trigger so withdrawn or superseded files can be replaced without losing history.
Open UNIJOY technical information for available files, then send the exact product identity and any missing evidence through Contact.

Keep the identity and zone register beside every file, then ask UNIJOY for the current product-specific document where the handover pack has a gap.

Frequently asked questions

What is the first item in a carpet tile handover pack?

Start with an indexed product-and-zone register: exact series, style/code, colourway, module, backing, approved reference, installed location, document revisions and responsible owner. Other files are difficult to use if they cannot be tied back to this identity.

Should test reports and certificates be kept in the pack?

Keep documents required by the project, but record issuer, number, date, revision, holder and exact product scope. Their presence does not prove that every installed variation or unrelated property is covered.

Does retaining spare carpet tile guarantee a future match?

No. Record identity, quantity, storage location, condition and any lot information available, but do not promise future colour match, usability, sufficiency or supply. Recheck the retained material and current product information when it is needed.

How often should facilities teams review the handover pack?

Set project-specific review triggers such as a repair, area change, document revision, warranty issue or transfer of responsibility. The goal is to preserve history while marking which file is current, not to invent a universal review interval.
