Fact-Checking and Corrections Policy
How specification claims are verified before publication, how guides are reviewed when standards or products change, and how to request a correction.
Fact-checking starts with the scope of the claim. A statement about a test value, a code requirement, a product availability, or a named manufacturer has to be checked against a document current at the time of publication.
Before publication
Editors verify the standard designation and edition, the test method a figure came from, the product name and revision of the datasheet, source URLs, and the relationship between the conclusion and the evidence. Automated checks catch missing metadata and broken links; they do not judge whether a figure was applied to the right context.
After publication
Guides are reviewed when a referenced standard is amended, when a cited product is revised or discontinued, or when a reader shows that a figure no longer matches the current documentation. A changed date represents an actual review, not an automated edit.
Requesting a correction
Send the page URL, the disputed sentence, and the document that contradicts it to the editorial address in the site footer. We investigate the narrow claim first and only revisit surrounding conclusions if the correction changes them.
