Product Defect and Claims Certification

Reduce handling time, protect your company from disputes, and make every claim verifiable with legally valid certified data.

In manufacturing, retail, automotive and medical device industries, claims management requires rapid evidence collection, decision traceability, and the ability to prove what happened, when and by whom. Without integral, authentic and unalterable evidence, the risks of litigation, audit non-compliance and escalation costs grow.

EU Directive 2024/2853 on product liability, effective from December 2026, introduces stricter evidence disclosure requirements and presumptions against manufacturers in case of insufficient proof. TrueScreen enables systematic certification of every piece of claim evidence — from initial collection to case closure — ensuring authenticity, integrity and immutability of content, full compliance with ISO 9001 and the new European regulations, and a structured document management process that shortens resolution time and reduces errors.

Challenges

  • Disputes over defects without complete, verifiable evidence: photos and videos can be challenged.

  • ISO 9001 (clauses 7.2.3 and 8.5.2) and EU Directive 2024/2853 impose strict evidentiary rules.

  • No traceability on who assessed the claim, what checks were performed, or decisions made.

  • Data fragmented across CRM, QMS and ERP slows down management and multiplies errors.

  • Difficulty producing complete claim files fast for recalls, disputes and corrective actions.

Solution

TrueScreen enables certification of the entire claim lifecycle. Every piece of evidence collected in the field or submitted by the customer, photos of the defect, purchase documents, written communications, is certified at the moment it is generated, with guarantees of authenticity, integrity and immutability compliant with eIDAS.

The certified file accompanies every phase: from case opening to Quality team assessment, from technical investigation to resolution, through to structured archiving for audit and continuous improvement. The result is faster dispute resolution, lower costs and a complete evidentiary base for every claim.

Visual evidence of the defect collected in the field or submitted by the customer, certified upon receipt.

Purchase documents, delivery notes, order confirmations and technical documentation

Communications and statements from the customer, retailer or field technician

Conversations, written notes and declarations certified to guarantee their authenticity and immutability.
