The index is free
This is what pays for it
Everything Qustas licenses sits around the index, never inside it. No payment places a product on the register, and no payment moves it once it is there.
Data & API
The public index stays free and complete. What is licensed is programmatic access to it, never the content itself.
An endpoint your own systems can call, so the score sits where your teams already work.
The whole register at once, rather than one product at a time.
Notification when a product you track moves Tier.
Seal licence
The seal is not sold. It is the consequence of a score, and the score is not for sale. What a licence grants is the commercial use of the mark for one product, for one year, packaging, advertising, point of sale, anywhere the company decides to carry it.
Get assessed when you're ready
Every product on the register is assessed in turn, whether or not the company asks. A request does not change that, it only moves the date forward.
The position moves. Nothing else does, same manual, same sources, same scale as every other product on the register.
Fixed published price, identical for everyone. The result is published whatever it is, and a request cannot be withdrawn once the assessment begins.
Training & partner accreditation
A published manual is not the same as a manual people know how to read. Consultancies, regulatory affairs teams and quality units can train on it and become accredited partners.
The six modules, what each criterion asks for, and how a disclosure is read against the public record. Open to anyone, including the companies being measured.
Completing the training accredits an organisation to advise on the standard and to identify itself as a Qustas partner while the accreditation holds.
A partner prepares a company for the standard. Only Qustas evaluates a product, and only Qustas issues a score.
