Verification

The validity of the results generated by our screening tool is naturally highly dependent on input data. Our tool is very complex on the inside and contains a huge amount of trustworthy data, but if one enters wrongful or lacking information about a product, the results will reflect this.

Here we will explain three types of verification and how you may use your screening results with each type.

Self-assessment

It is solely the client’s responsibility, that inputdata is correct and valid. The screening result can be used in non-public sales operations (projects, tenders etc). Målbar takes no responsibility for the results. The client can solely refer to this result as; calculated via Målbars tool, but not verified by Målbar.

Verified by Målbar

Målbar verifies that the inputdata provided by the client lies within the “normal” range, and that any claim of sustainable aspects are documented. We also check if the mass-balance is accurate and if any materials/processes are forgotten og mistyped. The client can then refer to the screening result as verified by Målbar.
