Supplier information transparency

How EOTConnect Supplier Information Is Collected

What our listing labels mean, where profile information comes from, when it was checked, and what buyers must still verify independently.

Important: Inclusion in EOTConnect is not an approval, engineering certification, supplier qualification, capability guarantee or endorsement.
Listing labels

Four labels with different levels of review

Public-source listing

Public information only

Profile created from publicly available company information. Not yet claimed by the business.

Claimed profile

Basic profile reviewed by a contact

Company contact has reviewed or updated basic profile information. A claim does not prove technical capability.

Business identity checked

Identity information checked

Website, business contact and company identity information have been checked. This does not qualify the company for a particular project.

Documents reviewed

Selected documents reviewed

Selected capability documents or certifications have been reviewed. This is not an engineering certification or endorsement.

Sources used

Where listing information comes from

EOTConnect profiles may be assembled from public sources available when the record is created or updated.

  • Official company websites and contact pages
  • Public product, service and capability pages
  • Public catalogues, brochures or certification references
  • Public business directories, trade listings or industry records
  • Information submitted by a company contact through a claim or correction request

Source quality varies. A product category means relevant public information was found; it does not prove present manufacturing capacity, ownership, certification validity or suitability.

Date last checked

How review dates should be read

Where available, a listing shows the date its public source or basic profile information was last checked. The date does not mean every fact was reconfirmed, and company websites, products, locations and contacts may change after that date. Buyers should confirm current information directly.

Claiming a profile

How a company contact can claim or update a listing

A company representative can use the Correct / claim action in the directory or the contact form. EOTConnect may request a business email matching the company domain, an official website reference, or another reasonable identity signal before changing the status.

Claiming a profile allows basic information to be reviewed or corrected. It does not create a recommendation, preferred-supplier status or technical approval.

What checked means

A check applies only to the stated information

Business identity checked means EOTConnect checked the relationship between a website, business contact and company identity information available at that time. Documents reviewed means selected submitted or public documents were inspected for their stated existence and relevance. Neither label confirms the accuracy of every claim or continued validity of a document.

What EOTConnect does not certify

Important limits of directory information

  • Engineering design, structural adequacy or crane safety
  • Manufacturing capacity, workmanship or quality systems
  • Compliance with laws, standards, licences or statutory requirements
  • Financial standing, ownership, insurance or commercial reliability
  • Certification validity beyond the specific material reviewed
  • Project references, delivery performance, service response or suitability for a buyer's application
