Required
This operational draft reflects implemented private-beta controls. Canadian legal counsel must approve the final commercial policy before launch.

Accuracy and substantiation

Authors and businesses must use accurate sources and must not publish a performance, code-compliance, health, safety, energy, durability or environmental claim that is false, misleading, vague or unsupported. Material limitations, test conditions, geography and dates should be stated where they affect meaning.

Environmental claims must be specific and supported by adequate and proper testing or substantiation appropriate to the claim. Broad claims such as green, sustainable or carbon neutral require clear scope, evidence and qualification and may be rejected during moderation.

Corrections and commercial influence

Material corrections should identify what changed and when. Sponsored, affiliate, supplied or paid content must be clearly labelled, and payment must not determine independent verification status or undisclosed organic ranking.

Readers can report a suspected factual, intellectual-property or disclosure issue through Support with the article URL and supporting detail. EIFS.ca may correct, label, restrict or remove content while a report is reviewed.
