Independent catalogue research · UK

Your catalogue,
checked against
the source.

I check technical product listings against manufacturers’ documentation, so your team can correct discrepancies before a customer relies on them.

Discuss a product range

For distributors of industrial and technical products.

From the researchAnonymised example
One part number.
Two different descriptions.

Finder relay · 55.34.8.024.0040

Distributor’s product heading
24 V DC
Manufacturer’s ordering code
24 V AC

The part number identifies an AC coil. The heading says DC. That distinction matters when selecting a relay for a control circuit.

Checked September 2026. A catalogue discrepancy; no incorrect supply has been established.

The work

Details that can
change the choice.

A specification copied from a related model can look perfectly reasonable. Checking it means finding the original source and matching the exact part, variant and rating.

Specifications
Voltage, dimensions, materials, contact arrangements and operating limits.
Product identity
Variant suffixes, accessories described as complete products, and descriptions attached to the wrong part.
Conflicting information
Headings, tables and descriptions that disagree with each other or with the manufacturer’s documentation.

What you receive

A finding your team
can check and use.

A concise report or spreadsheet with the exact listing, the field to review, the manufacturer’s reference and a suggested correction.

The report also records what was checked and where the evidence was unavailable or ambiguous. Differences in terminology, units and operating conditions are considered before something is flagged.

Start with one product range

We agree the products, fields, price and turnaround before work starts. You choose a range that matters to your business.

Behind CatalogueCheck

Hello, I’m Nick.

I’m an independent researcher based in the UK. CatalogueCheck grew from investigating mismatches between technical product listings and the original manufacturers’ documents.

The work is intended to save your team the time involved in finding and cross-checking the evidence. You deal with me directly.

This is a review of published product information. Your technical team retains approval of changes and decisions about product suitability.
