| Know before using | Certification bodies maintain and verify the published scope-certificate data. A listed scope certificate does not establish that a particular shipment has a valid transaction certificate, that every product or site is in scope, or that the company has suitable capacity, availability, performance, commercial terms, or project fit. Confirm the exact standard, organization, sites, products, validity dates, scope, and applicable transaction certificate before relying on a claim. | Source-reviewed describes the page and its cited decision boundaries. It does not authenticate a commercial roll, seller claim, fibre percentage, construction, finish, performance result, machine setting, care route, compliance status, supplier, or product fitness. Internal browse bands are navigation labels, not textile standards or product classes; an entry without a usable listed mass range is unclassified. Check the actual article, seller data, care label, equipment instructions, representative assemblies, applicable rules, and project requirements before deciding. |

| What the source establishes | Textile Exchange states that this registry combines current scope-certificate data supplied by active certification bodies so users can confirm whether an organization is certified and inspect its certified materials, products, and sites. Its separate authentication guidance directs users to authenticate transaction certificates for certified shipments rather than treating a company-level scope certificate as proof of a particular transaction. | All 50 current cloth entries meet the source-reviewed content contract. The public index, cards, permanent pages, and site search expose that state, while the repository audit enforces a current review date, substantive scope, decision boundaries, and at least three external sources. The migrated cases cover fibre and family representations, woven and knitted construction, open nets, raised and dimensional surfaces, mass, thickness, drape, elasticity, colour, seams, pressing, care state, supports, and complete-product decisions. |
