Identify what is supplied
Provide the name, grade, specification or version and responsible supplier. Explain variation affecting the evidence. General manufacturing services, consultancy and company capability statements are not product entries.
Describe downstream use
State applications, operating or formulation conditions and constraints. Explain what a downstream manufacturer must control for the claimed performance to apply.
Keep evidence and attribution specific
Trace reports to the material or version supplied. If evidence comes from a finished product, explain the component's role and the limits of attributing that result to it. A component award does not cover all finished products containing it, or the supplier's entire portfolio.
Evidence checklist
| Area | Required material | Check before submitting |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Ingredient identity or model, grade and specification | Reports concern the supplied item. |
| Performance | Methods, conditions, results and limits | Findings address the stated downstream function. |
| Traceability | Batch or version references and relevant controls | Supplied material can be connected to the evidence. |
| Application | Compatible uses and integration or formulation limits | Independent downstream responsibilities are clear. |
| Changes | Current technical information, changes and material concerns | Customers can identify changes affecting suitability. |
Explaining the downstream boundary
A sensor assessed under stated conditions does not establish the performance of every device incorporating it. Where grades, specifications or production arrangements differ, explain the entry's precise scope and evidence. Public award statements must continue to identify the component itself.
Map claims to sources
For each principal claim, record its exact wording, report or study, file and page, assessed version, method or population, finding and limitation. Identify the author and relevant relationship with the applicant. Explain how evidence about a different formulation, component or version applies to your product.
Prepare readable files
Supply readable reports, with the original and relevant English passages where needed. Keep private reports separate from proposed public information. Remove personal information not needed for review.
The entry permits up to 20 attachments and 250 MB in total: 25 MB per PDF and 10 MB per image. Video is supplied by link. Contact the awards team if an essential report exceeds these limits.
