Claims Register
Status key: Standard = published and externally verifiable ｜ Documented = a company document is referenced ｜ Confirmation required = not yet evidenced; do not rely on it until confirmed in writing.
1. Company data
| Claim | Source | Status | Last reviewed |

No capacity figure is stated anywhere on the Data Hub while this remains unconfirmed. Buyers should ask for the current figure in writing.
2. Product specification
| Claim | Source | Status | Last reviewed |
| Grade structure (Standard / Premium / Superior / Special) and parameter targets | Specification pages; internal grade classification | Documented — confirm the values for the specific order | 2026-09-26 |

| MRL compliance claims | EU MRL regime (Reg. (EC) 396/2005) as the default basis | Standard for the requirement; per-batch result required | 2026-09-26 |
