To highlight catalogs that fulfill all current quality demands on the public platforms, CADENAS introduced the silver and golden QA seal. It is shown in PARTdataManager next to the catalog logo shows also the version number (V8/V9/V10/V11) for which the seal was committed. By moving the mouse arrow over the seal logo, the exact certification date and detailed certification criteria will be displayed. Also on PARTcommunity OEM portals and on the available Catalogs overview page the QA seal is presented together with the company logo.
New catalogs that are created by CADENAS as a service automatically receive the silver QA seal upon delivery. For catalogs that do not currently have a QA seal, the manufacturer must first order a QA seal check (for a fee). Q&S catalogs do not have to have a seal by default (which does not mean that they cannot have one if all requirements are met).
The check will be stored in a protocol and delivered to the Project Manager / Customer together with an estimation of the required adjustment efforts.
