This would certainly give this employee another incentive to do a good job also for any potential purchaser reading this statement may be all that's needed to make that purchase.
Over all quality control over seen every step of the way by the designer before it is shipped out the door dated and signed could be added.

Any company with nothing to hide and truly do manufacture high end audio these statements would go a very long way.
Why is it not normal in high-end audio? It could very well be most do not give any thought to doing this or they don't care

***So, I think that serious high-end audio components must have a day and month when they were made and the applicable conditions under which they were made under. I know for some it might sound residuals but I very much be would be welcomed to this habit/tradition.

Applicable conditions, If it were a pair of mono amplifiers and it took a solid week to assemble one, that first mono amp was completed when the employee or the designer himself were in good spirits and cared very much everything he did. But while he was building the second one some personal problems came up that took his mind away from his work, or any number of things. A friday before a long weekend, Monday and hung over ect.
Any manufacturing company with a 3 to 4% rejection rate is doing well.
