How Should Public-Realm Product Substitutions Be Reviewed?
A visually similar product is not automatically an equivalent product. Substitution should be checked against the reasons the original system was selected.

Record the change
If a substitution is accepted, update the approved product record so construction, maintenance and future replacement teams know what was actually supplied.
