| Know before using | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | A listed approval applies to the identified product and function, not every output from the company; confirm scope, validity, test method, supply terms, and current certificate status. | A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase. |
