Record-keeping allows our inspectors to verify the practices in your winery. LIVE provides boilerplate forms in the Winery Certification Workbook. You may also use your own forms, as long as all required information is available. The following records are required to be presented to the inspector (more information is available in the Winery Workbook):

• LIVE Scorecard Checklist (submitted to LIVE annually)
• Basic winery grounds plan (submitted to LIVE and updated when necessary)
• Energy usage summary (submitted to LIVE annually)
• Harvest receiving records (presented at inspection)
• Equipment maintenance records (presented at inspection)
• Substances added to wine (presented at inspection)
• Annual cleaning agent inventory (presented at inspection)

Other items that the inspector will use to verify your Scorecard Checklist include (but are not limited to) purchase receipts, bills of lading, receiving records, DEQ Citations within the past 3 years, OSHA logs, and appropriate DEQ permits. Please have these records available for the inspector prior to their visit. Having as many records available as possible will make your first audit go smoothly and quickly.
