How We Evaluate Manufacturers
Our certification process is designed to be thorough, fair, and transparent. Every applicant undergoes a manual evaluation where we review financial performance, credit standing, certifications, documentation practices, and reputation in the industry. We also assess sustainability efforts and, for higher levels, the manufacturer’s international reach and ability to uphold standards globally. This comprehensive approach ensures that each certificate reflects real-world capability, integrity, and performance — key information for professional buyers.
Certification levels on MfgCertify are not self-selected or purchased — they are assigned by our verification team after a thorough review of each manufacturer’s documentation, certifications, financial stability, and industry presence.
Each certificate reflects the true, verifiable quality and structure of the company, based on objective criteria. It is not possible to pay for a higher level — all manufacturers are evaluated equally and fairly.
This transparent, audit-based approach ensures that a certification from MfgCertify carries real meaning and trust in global supply chains. Certification is awarded — not bought. That’s what makes it valuable
