No badge without evidence
A badge is our promise to the buyer that we checked something specific. We never award one because a supplier asked or paid, and we withdraw it when the evidence lapses or proves wrong.
Origin badges
They belong to a product. A product carries one origin badge only, the most accurate one; without complete evidence it carries none.
Manufactured in Qatar
The product is made in an industrial facility in Qatar, where materials are turned into a new product. Packing or relabelling alone does not count. Evidence: a valid industrial licence for the facility, a site visit in which our team sees the production line and records it with photos, location and date, and the supplier’s declaration that the product is made there. Withdrawn if the licence lapses, the facility closes, or the product turns out to be imported finished.
Assembled / packed in Qatar
A stage of the product, such as assembly, blending, packing or cutting, takes place in Qatar, while the main component or the product itself is made abroad. Evidence: a commercial registration or licence covering the activity, a description of the stage carried out in Qatar with photos or a site visit, and the main component’s country of origin when a buyer asks.
Qatari brand
The brand is owned by a Qatari entity and the product is made outside Qatar. Evidence: proof of ownership of the brand, or of the right to use it, and the country of manufacture stated on the product card.
Trust badges
They belong to a factory.
CR verified
We checked that the supplier’s commercial registration exists and is in force, and that the name shown matches the registered name. We check the CR of everyone who claims a page. Evidence: the CR number and a copy, matched against the official information available. Withdrawn when the CR expires without renewal, or a mismatch is not corrected.
Site visited
Our team visited the factory at its stated address, photographed the facility and its production lines, and recorded the location and date. Valid for one year from the visit, then renewed by a new visit. A visit confirms that the factory existed and was operating on the day; it is not a quality inspection or a guarantee of the products.
Other signals on a page (not badges)
Certificates uploaded
Such as halal, quality or conformity marks. We show the certificate, its issuer and expiry date, and hide expired ones. The issuer answers for the certificate, so check it with them.
Not yet claimed
We built the page from public sources and the factory has not claimed it yet. Contact details are hidden and we relay inquiries ourselves.
See a badge that doesn’t belong?
If a supplier shows a badge it should not, or an imported product carries “Manufactured in Qatar”, tell us. We review every report.
