Who sees your report, and who doesn't.

Commissioning a test means handing us detailed data about a product you sell. That's a reasonable thing to be careful about, so here is exactly what we do with it. The short version: the report goes to you, and nothing else goes anywhere.

The report goes to one company, the one that commissioned it.

When you commission a test, the report is yours. We deliver it to you and to no one else. We don't publish it, we don't send it to another manufacturer, and we don't hand it to a buyer who asks for it. There is no public archive a competitor can pull it from, because your report was never put in one.

The only thing that becomes public is the certification itself.

When a device passes, it gets a listing in our public certification registry. That listing shows the company, the product, the certification number, the date we tested it, what was tested, and the checklist it passed.

That is the whole listing. It confirms the certification is real and lets anyone check a badge against the record behind it. It does not contain your measurements, your charts, or your report.

What you publish from the report is your call.

The report is yours to use however you like. Most manufacturers keep the full document as an internal reference and publish only the parts their buyers actually care about: the headline charts, the badge, and the registry listing that proves the certification is real. Some publish more. Some publish the whole thing.

We deliver every chart as a separate high-resolution file for exactly that reason, so you can put a measured result on a product page or a spec sheet without handing over the rest of the document.

What we will never do.

We will never share your report with another company. We will never use your measurements to rank you against anyone else. We don't publish comparisons between manufacturers, and we don't sell or license test data.

If someone asks us how your device stacks up against another company's, the answer is that we don't do that. Not as a policy we might revisit, but because a testing lab that quietly briefs one client on another client's numbers isn't worth commissioning.

If you're a buyer, here is what you can check.

You can look up any certification in the public registry and confirm it's real: the certification number, the date, and the checklist it passed. If you saw a badge on a product, that's the record behind it.

If you want the measurements themselves, ask the manufacturer. It's their report, and sharing it is their decision, not ours. A manufacturer who has been tested and is happy with the result usually has no problem showing you.

Why some full reports on this site are public.

Every report in our example showcase is for a device we bought ourselves, off the shelf, at our own expense. We own those units, so the reports are ours to publish, and we publish them in full so you can see exactly what a Gauss Labs report contains before you commission one.

Those are the only full reports we publish. Nobody paid us to run them, and nobody had a say in what we found.

The distinction is about the unit, not the company. If we bought a device, we can publish its report. If a company commissioned a test, that report is theirs alone, and it stays that way, no matter who they are.
