How to review a Product Specification
This guide will show you how to review a product specification that has not changed and explain the reason why a product specification should be reviewed.
Why do products need to be reviewed?
To maintain the integrity of the Erudus data pool, Manufacturers are expected to review product specifications within 3 years of publication. Product specifications will have the clock reset for reviewing a specification when a product has a change made to it; this can be done either by updating the product or by reviewing the product.
Specifications that were created before the 8th of January 2024 will need to be updated to a new specification type before any review can take place. If you are unable to review a specification, then you can follow the guide on updating legacy specifications
Reviewing Product Specifications | Step 1
On your manufacturer dashboard, you will be notified how many products on your account require review. Any product specification that hasn't been updated or reviewed within 2 years will be flagged for review. Clicking the "Review Required" panel on the dashboard will take you to a list of products that require review.
Reviewing Product Specifications | Step 2
If the product specification has not changed, click on the additional options button at the end of the row for the product that you want to mark as reviewed, and click the "Mark as Reviewed" button from the dropdown menu. You will then be asked to confirm that the specification has not changed since the last time it was updated.
Reviewing Product Specifications | Step 3
You will now see that the last changed date has not been altered, but the last reviewed date has now been reset, which means the product no longer requires a review.
