Japanese term or phrase: 下記にて依頼頂いていたMaximum品での確認を行った。
This is taken from an email chain. My current translation is "I carried out the previously requested verification in the maximum good/item."

I have two specific questions for this one:


1. How do I handle にて?I am worried that I'm not using it correctly with 下記 but am not sure. I think they are referring to previous emails, instead of the usual "the following" for 下記。 (They were discussing carrying out this verification in previous emails.)

2. Maximum good sounds... weird. But I'm not sure how else to translate 品 in this situation. I have reached out to one of the email recipients but haven't heard back yet.

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
Something else at Maximum item, not Maximum item itself, was verified.
If it's in chain mail, 下記 means a message below (=previous mail message). Maximum sounds a specific name of good (item), not generic.

1/ "(See thread)" 2/ "an exhaustive" (verification)


Explanation:
1/ Rendering 以下にて to override the surface conflict between 'the following' vs 'Previous email' can easily be resolved since the link to the conversation thread is most probably appended to this particular email.
see Example 1/
2/ Since 品 is used with syntactic maker で, would be inclined to treat 品 as a 'short' for 項目, i.e. the set of product(s) attributes/performance standards tested for in this verification. If your context allows this inference, the above would be my free translation attempt. The added paraphrase in brackets can of course be dropped.

Example sentence(s):
  • 1/ ...as we had asked you to arrange for us (see thread)
  • 2/ we have run an exhaustive verification of the product (ticking all the boxes)
