| 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. | A selection framework, not a manufacturer endorsement or substitute for legal and compliance review. |

| 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. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. |
