Manufacturer disclosure

The evidence score gives zero points to a benefit that is not documented. A missing figure stays unknown in the product record; it is not recorded as a fault. Publish the document and the score changes on the next catalog release.

What counts as evidence

A public document you publish or a certificate issuer record, naming the exact model or a model alias you confirm. Datasheets, manuals, warranty documents, specification pages and issuer directory entries are accepted. A press release, a retail listing, a marketing claim without a document, or a file name alone is not accepted.

Certificate evidence keeps its scope. A cell certificate does not become pack evidence, a system listing does not become a module listing, and a test method report is not a listing. Pending applications are recorded as pending and earn no points.

How to submit

Assigned representatives can use the manufacturer workspace to manage their products. Documents and images are published as Manufacturer submitted; earlier revisions remain archived. Automated checks help review specification corrections; staff decide whether to publish them. Warranty terms, certificate changes and replies also require staff review. Replies identify the representative and manufacturer.
