Product Claims and Wording Review Guide for Equipment Distributors

Procurement Guide — General editorial preparation for equipment buyers and distributors, not legal advice, a verified customer case study, or confirmation that a product may be sold in a particular market. Images are illustrative. Product-specific claims and destination requirements need appropriate professional review.

Before releasing a catalogue or product listing, collect the exact wording your team plans to use and connect it to the relevant model and source documents. This guide offers a practical review record: what is proposed, what information supports it, who will review it, and what remains unresolved. Completing the record is not regulatory approval.

1. Define the material under review

Start with the model, configuration, destination, audience, language, and publication channel. Keep separate records for different products and markets. Include the product page, catalogue, packaging artwork, image captions, sales presentation, and any proposed distributor copy in your review list.

• Version: identify the draft file or page and its revision date.
• Scope: record which model and configuration the wording describes.
• Owner: assign a person to collect sources and consolidate reviewer feedback.
• Release: identify who can authorize publication and what questions must be resolved first.

2. Build a wording and source register

Copy each proposed statement into a review record. For specifications, request the matching document revision, units, configuration, and relevant measurement conditions. Do not transfer a figure from a similar-looking model or remove a qualification to make the sentence shorter.

Keep commercial statements separate from technical ones. For example, references to included accessories, available customization, dispatch timing, or warranty service should point to the relevant confirmed offer or agreement. Mark missing or conflicting information as pending rather than filling the gap with a confident phrase.

3. Escalate health and approval wording

For the United States, the FTC’s Health Products Compliance Guidance addresses both express and implied claims and the evidence needed to support them. A review should consider the overall message, including imagery, rather than isolated sentences alone. Refer health-benefit and safety claims to qualified reviewers before publication.

Use regulatory terms precisely. The FDA explains that establishment registration and device listing do not mean approval, clearance, or authorization. See its explanation of registration and approval terminology. Do not convert a registration reference into a product-approval badge.

These are U.S. references, not a worldwide checklist or an assessment of any NORYLUME product. Ask your destination-market specialist to identify the applicable review and verify the exact product, intended use, document scope, and proposed wording. Keep unresolved statements out of the release draft.

4. Review translations and visual context

Give the language reviewer the source text, model reference, terminology notes, and supporting documents. Ask them to flag changes in meaning, stronger wording, missing conditions, and inconsistent units. Keep an unchecked automatic translation labelled as a draft in the editorial workflow.

Review the actual page or artwork as well as the text file. Check that the photograph shows the intended configuration, optional items are identified, and illustrative scenes are not presented as verified customer results. Keep approval records for the reviewed language and layout, not just the original source copy.

5. Use a publication review worksheet

Add the exact draft wording, source reference, reviewer, date, and next action to each applicable area below. The table is an editorial worksheet, not evidence of certification or permission to sell.

Wording review worksheet

Area	Source to collect	Review question
Specifications	Model-specific document and revision	Do values, units, and conditions match?
Health or safety wording	Proposed claim and supporting material	What specialist review is still needed?
Regulatory references	Exact record, product scope, and status	Does the wording describe the record accurately?
Commercial promises	Confirmed quotation or service agreement	Are conditions and exclusions preserved?
Images and captions	Asset source and configuration reference	Is the presentation accurate and illustrative use clear?
Translations	Source copy and reviewed language version	Has meaning changed or a condition disappeared?
Publication	Final page or artwork revision	Who reviewed it and what remains on hold?

Use internal statuses such as Awaiting source, Specialist review needed, Revise, or Editorial review complete for stated scope. Do not label a completed internal checklist as regulatory approval.

6. Release a controlled version

Compare the final published material with the reviewed version. Retain the dated file set and distribute it to the relevant sales or distributor contacts. Reopen review when the model, configuration, supporting documents, market, translation, or claim changes.

For a supplier discussion, send the model, destination, language, draft wording, and a short list of missing documents or conflicting details. Ask which product information can be provided for review; do not treat receipt of a document as a legal opinion or publication authorization.
