PROFILE STANDARD / 01
A profile is a dated evidence map.
Its job is to help a buyer ask the next precise question. It is not to turn a set of documents, a site tour or a supplier statement into a blanket claim that a company is “verified”.
The publication threshold
Before a public profile can be published, every material field needs one of three clear states: a traceable source, a supplier-provided claim labelled as such, or an unresolved gap. A profile does not become more trustworthy by quietly filling a gap with generic category language.
No factory profile is published by this note. The live factory showcase remains in preparation until real evidence for a specific factory is ready to be disclosed with its source and date.
Being included in a showcase would not mean that Currawong Web has approved the supplier, audited all conditions, verified every future batch or guaranteed commercial performance.
Legal identity and site relationship
Start with the exact Chinese legal name and Unified Social Credit Code, then record the current public registration result and the query date. The National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System is the official starting point for the entity record; the reader should still reopen the live record for a material decision.
A profile must separately identify the production location and describe the relationship between that site and the contracting entity: owned, leased, branch, affiliate, subcontractor or not yet confirmed. Manufacturing wording in a business scope can support a first-pass role hypothesis, but it does not prove who controls the site or will make an order.

Product and process evidence
The page must name the product family and the specific process claims it is prepared to document. It should separate supplier-provided capacity figures from any dated observation, and show which critical steps are outsourced rather than implying an end-to-end factory.
Useful evidence is tied to a defined product and time: the named line or workshop, applicable equipment or process, controlled sample or specification, and the limits of what was observed. Photos, a broad catalogue, headcount or marketplace badges do not establish that the listed site can repeatedly make the buyer’s particular order.
Use the buyer-owned factory capability checklist before treating a claim as evidence →
Certificate and test-report scope
When a profile names a certificate or report, it must preserve the document type, holder, issuer, identifier, status or validity date, scope and covered location. The document should be connected to the actual product or site it can support — not presented as a general quality badge.
ISO explains that certification is carried out by external certification bodies, not by ISO itself, and directs users to the issuing or accreditation body and IAF CertSearch to verify accredited certification. A management-system certificate is not product certification, and a single test report does not establish every future batch or destination-market requirement.
Match each certificate or test report to its holder, scope, site and order →
Commercial fit and change control
Buyers need a practical boundary as well as technical facts: stated minimum order quantity, customisation constraints, order lead-time basis, responsible contact route and which terms need confirmation before an enquiry. These are commercial statements, not delivery promises.
Any material change — legal seller, production site, product version, key process, certificate status, capacity statement or lead-time basis — needs a dated update. The previous statement should not silently remain on a profile after its supporting evidence has changed.
Keep commercial and production assumptions controlled before a purchase order is released →
DISCLOSURE MAP / 02
How gaps stay visible
| Profile field | What a public profile may show | What it must not imply |
|---|---|---|
| Legal entity | Exact name, code, source link and query date | That registration proves a factory controls production |
| Factory site | Named site, declared relationship and dated evidence state | That an address proves capacity or ongoing manufacture |
| Process and product | Specific documented product or process claim, with gaps | That all catalogue products or future orders are covered |
| Certificates and reports | Holder, scope, location, date and verification route | That a certificate approves the supplier or product |
| Commercial information | Stated terms, responsible contact and change date | That a listed term is a binding offer or delivery guarantee |
METHOD / 03
How this standard was prepared
Currawong Web's original publishing framework is the four-part profile structure above: legal identity and site relationship; product and process evidence; certificate and test-report scope; and commercial fit with change control. It is an editorial framework for making buyer-facing claims inspectable, not a substitute for an audit standard or a supplier-approval programme.
Currawong Web checked the primary sources below on 2 August 2026. They support only the narrow statements about official registration records and certificate-verification routes. We did not inspect a reader’s supplier, site, documents or order, and we do not infer a company’s quality, compliance, payment safety or future performance from this framework.
