Participant roles
The directory assigns companies participant roles by what they do, not by what they call themselves. Every role below has a published coverage status, so a role whose companies are not yet listed says so rather than looking complete.
- Covered
- An approved list maps companies to this role and has been read at least once, so its companies are published from that list.
- Queued
- A list that maps companies to this role has been checked or approved and is waiting for its first successful read.
- From registries and member lists
- Companies hold this role from certification registries or published member lists, while no approved company list covers it yet.
- Not yet covered
- No usable list maps companies to this role yet. It is listed rather than hidden, because a gap in coverage is a fact worth stating.
