| What the source establishes | The ConnectAmericas-powered platform exposes a company directory for manufacturers, importers, and input suppliers plus purchasing notices and a knowledge center. | The guide cites published ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it discloses that ISO 10013:2021's 2026 systematic review is at close-of-review stage and separates every cited authority from product-specific technical and market decisions. | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. |
