| Know before using | Partner status is not a blanket product claim; use the current official list and confirm the exact facility, material, process, or chemical-input scope. | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | The company count is a changing platform claim. Search fields, profiles, certificates, locations, and account access do not independently verify the legal entity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, certificate validity or scope, compliance performance, delivery, or project fit. Confirm the site and subcontracting, credentials with issuers, samples, audits when appropriate, specifications, contracts, and commercial terms. |

| What the source establishes | bluesign publishes current system-partner lists and approved-input references that can support facility, material, chemical, dyeing, and finishing checks. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | FOURSOURCE's current public network page presents an operator-reported global company count and country or territory search. It says logged-in users can narrow results by compliance certificates, product groups, fabric types, target groups, minimum order quantities, and other fields, with a free-trial and supplier sign-up route. |
