What is Verifiedenal’s Supplier Verification?
Supplier Verification is a structured due-diligence process used to evaluate whether a medical device manufacturer is capable of meeting regulatory, quality, production, and delivery requirements before orders are placed.
Verifiedental’s Supplier Verification goes beyond basic background checks. Our on-site audit teams physically inspect factories, validate certifications (ISO 13485, FDA registration, CE readiness), review production workflows, quality management systems, subcontractor chains, and export compliance records—so overseas buyers can engage suppliers with confidence and reduced operational risk.
We help dental and medical brands avoid hidden risks such as unqualified subcontracting, inconsistent quality control, documentation gaps, or overstated production capacity—issues that often surface only after contracts are signed.
What We Verify
On Alibaba or websites, every supplier lookslike a massive manufacturer with 500 workers. In reality, many are small rading companies working out ofan apartment, adding a 30% markup to your price. Working with a middleman means zero control over quality and a high risk of miscommunication. Youneed to know exactly who you are wiring your money to.
Our on-site audit covers these 4 critical areas to ensure you are dealing with a real manufacturer.

Our 5-Point Verification Protocol
Legal Status “We inspect their Business License. Does the scope say ‘Manufacturer’ or just ‘Sales’? We confirm if they legally exist.
Physical Existence“We visit the address. Is it a real factory with machinesrunning, or just a rented office in a chaotic shared workspace?”
Production Capacity “We count the assembly lines and workers. Do they have the capacity to deliver your order on time, or will they outsource it?”
Certificates “We verify their CE, ISO, and FDA certificates. Are they valid? Arethey registered under their own name or borrowed from another factory?”
Quality System “We check if they have a QC department and testingequipment (e.g., aging test areas, lifting capacity tests), or if they just packand ship.”
