| Best for | Checking GOTS certification records | Using construction codes without treating classification as a machine setting, material assignment, supplier translation, or performance guarantee |
| 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 reproduce licensed code diagrams, verify a user's proposed code, authorize an ISO and ASTM crosswalk, select a construction, set stitch density or machine settings, prove supplier repeatability or performance, or replace the licensed standards and qualified construction, sewing, production, testing, safety, and quality review. |

| 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 the current public scopes and statuses of ISO 4915:1991, ISO 4916:1991, and ASTM D6193-16(2025), plus current seam-failure and seam-tensile methods; it keeps classification, translation, complete process definition, physical verification, and performance evidence separate. |
