The supplier selection is based on available company information. This includes registered capital, certification, test reports, and product scope. We also apply different criteria depending on the product category and industry.

Do you guarantee that the suppliers in the report are reliable?

Suppliers cannot be classified as consistently ‘reliable’ or ‘unreliable’. While we filter suppliers based on the selection criteria to find the most qualified companies, the outcome depends entirely on how the process as a whole is managed. There are also other supplier-related risks to be taken into consideration that can never be eliminated by our selection criteria. Here are a few examples:

• Failure to produce a satisfying product sample
• Quality issues during production
• Failure to adhere to initial quotations
• Frauds perpetrated by individual employees (e.g. payment scams)
• Supplier bankruptcy
• IP theft

Our selection is based on an assessment – which cannot reasonably predict every single outcome. Do not assume that the suppliers listed in this report are by default and in every situation ‘reliable’ or ‘quality’ suppliers.
