recordable
Able to capture
Recordable describes something capable of being recorded.
A recordable CD or DVD accepts data written by a user, unlike pre-pressed discs.
Events may be recordable if they merit documentation: a recordable workplace injury triggers reporting requirements.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—media formats, safety regulations, legal proceedings—where the capacity or obligation to create a record matters.
