Who says what, and what we accept

Each type of compliance, with its source and its date. A “yes” with no link to where it was checked is worth nothing, so it does not exist here.

The rules we follow

How each piece of data is accepted

  1. 01The person who publishes the product declares itWhen listing it, they tick what it complies with. It goes in as declared, not as true: on the listing it shows in amber with their name, and it does not count in searches.
  2. 02We check it against the primary sourceThe maker’s own documentation, its compliance page or the public register of the relevant authority.
  3. 03It is accepted or rejected, with a link and a dateAccepting without a source is not possible: the database itself prevents it. A rejection is recorded too; it is not simply deleted.
  4. 04Every piece of data carries its dateRules change and so do products. That is why an accepted item shows the date it was checked and can be corrected if something has changed.
  5. 05A person confirms the priceThe machine detects that a pricing page has changed; someone enters the new amount. Extracting numbers with heuristics produces false data.
