Updating Data in the Product Catalog

Database improvement and updating

The CD organizes continuous improvement and updating of data in the WEB-KAT database with the aim of ensuring unambiguous product identification.

Primarily, product data is updated based on user data when re-purchasing already codified products.

The CD primarily checks and updates data at successor organizations of defunct manufacturers with the aim of determining the extent of takeover of production of specific products associated in WEB-KAT with the defunct manufacturer, capturing any changes in the marking and re-identifying these products by linking them to the actual current manufacturer.

Data can also be checked and updated at the request of any manufacturer who discovers incorrect data for their products in WEB-KAT or discovers that another manufacturer is listed for their own production or that they themselves are associated with a product that they do not manufacture.
