Every record points at its source.
A certificate is a claim about a document, a body and a scope. This library keeps those three things separate, shows where each one comes from, and dates the check.
Search the library01
Primary sourceEvery record links to the document or register it was taken from.
02
Verification dateEvery record shows when its facts were last checked against that source. The date moves when the check is repeated, not when the page is edited.
03
Separate classesAn ISO standard, a scheme owner's programme, an ecolabel and an award are not the same object, and are never merged.
04
Plain languageWhat it covers, who it applies to, what triggers an assessment and what it does not replace.
05
Nothing unverifiedA record is not published until its source is confirmed. Unconfirmed ones stay in the queue.
