The five-field evidence card
| Field | Control question | Current rule boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Container | What product and multi-use or single-use container is involved? | Removal from a tub or tube must prevent contamination of product remaining inside. |
| Tool | What clean removal or dispensing method is authorized? | Pomades, waxes, and gels use a discarded single-use spatula or a disinfected multi-use spatula. |
| Contact | Could a hand touch the product or dispensing portion? | Fingers do not remove the identified products; hands do not touch the dispensing portions of shakers or pumps. |
| Leftover | What unused portion remains after service preparation? | The rule says leftover product is disposed of and not reused. |
| Reset | What tool, container, surface, and waste control must be restored? | Single-use tools are discarded; reusable nonporous tools follow the applicable cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage route. |

Limits and stop point
This card does not approve a product, decide ingredient safety, diagnose a reaction, replace a manufacturer label, or certify a salon. Pause when a product label, contamination event, medical-device instruction, allergy concern, exposure, disposal rule, or facility duty is unclear.
