| Know before using | A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase. | The record does not validate a pattern, size, body-measurement method, fabric, allowance, layout, print or projection output, fit, construction, accessibility, safety, license, or finished garment, and it does not replace the current publisher instructions, a representative test garment, or qualified fit and sewing support. |

| What the source establishes | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. | The guide cites current ISO clothing body-measurement and size-designation sources, current Simplicity publisher size guidance, current Adobe print-scaling guidance, and practitioner or educational pattern-marking and layout sources; it separates controlled pattern identity from interpretation and cutting release. |
