Can a fraudulent seller create a convincing copy of a test certificate?
A certificate is confirmed with the body whose name is on it.
The Validation page names certificates and reports by institution and number, among them OEKO-TEX Service GmbH, Certificate 17.0.25812, Product Safety Labs, Study 65321, Study 65322, Study 65323 and Study 65324, Intertek Building & Construction, Report 105169484SAT-001, and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011. The Terms of Use state: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” The company publishes no anti-forgery feature for a document, and a document a seller presents is checked against the issuing body's own record. Both numbers can be checked at source: certificate 17.0.25812 in OEKO-TEX’s public label check, and Certificate No. 15.06.011 in the Eurovent Certita Certification certified product directory. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
