Check the evidence, not only the logo

A certificate mark on a page does not prove that every product is covered. Review the named legal entity, site, certificate scope and validity. For product tests, compare the sample description, material, color, standard, laboratory and report date with the item being purchased.

Inspection requirements should also be written into the order specification. Define critical dimensions, appearance limits, function checks, packing requirements and the agreed sampling method before production begins.
