Assessment may include filling, adhesives, coatings and accessories alongside visible upholstery. Define product models and material options clearly.
Examine filling, binders, coatings and other components as well as upholstery. Appearance may not reveal animal-derived inputs. Prepare a complete material list and supplier evidence. “Leather-free” alone does not demonstrate every condition of the selected vegan programme.
Compare sources and production conditions for each option. Explain which variants common evidence represents and assess different inputs separately. An unchanged model name does not approve every option automatically. Match the sales catalogue to the approved options list.
Relevant source information can be shared with the assessment body under confidentiality arrangements. A safety data sheet may not disclose every origin detail. Connect declarations and technical support to the product code. A vague general assurance should not establish definitive acceptance of an unknown source.
Compare replacement upholstery, filling, adhesives and application materials with the approved scope. Changes that do not preserve accepted materials may affect the claim. Align service instructions and parts lists accordingly. Original production status does not establish that every later repair preserves the same conditions.
Source assessment differs from mechanical or fire performance. Determine required tests for the intended use separately. Review all relevant files when material changes affect several claims. The vegan logo should not be presented as a general product safety approval.
Trace affected models through input batches, work orders and dispatch records. Assess programme and customer claims and make necessary corrections. Changing the next purchase does not resolve earlier products. Approval controls for alternative materials should prevent recurrence.
