Catas test reports are valuable documents attesting the quality, safety, and performance of a product. Unfortunately, there have been regrettable situations where fake or modified test reports have been used or disseminated in the market. In some cases, these altered documents could be erroneously considered the authentic ones, issued by the San Giovanni al Natisone and Lissone offices of the leading European laboratory for the wood-furniture sector.
This is a very improper practice, fraudulently implemented to secure an order or contract without formally having all the right qualifications and technical specifications required.
Catas has been actively facing this problem for years trying to protect the legitimate interests of entrepreneurs and companies that operate in full compliance with international standards, rules and ethics. Today, this problem finally has a simple and quick solution, thanks to a new online service that allows for immediate verification of the authenticity of Catas test reports.
By a quick connection to the link verify.catas.com and by simply “uploading” the test report, in a few seconds, the system verifies the digital signature, a well-established and internationally recognized tool present in all Catas test reports, ensuring the integrity of the document.
In just a few seconds, you can find out whether the test report presented by a potential supplier or partner is original, surely issued by Catas, or if it has been intentionally or unintentionally “modified”. In the case of a “suspected non-conformity”, meaning if the digital signature is compromised, the online software developed by Catas proposes a more in-depth verification to the user. This second step is performed directly by Catas personnel, comparing the received file with the one present in Catas archives, so that the situation can be definitively clarified and resolved.
