Also after the first publication of a catalog, its state will be checked in regular time frames. Some catalogs are more and some catalogs are less frequent in maintenance – this very often does not depend on CADENAS but on the supplier’s will to order or execute the necessary maintenance work. Because of the continuous improvement in the CAD system market and the therefore required adjustment of the CADENAS software, more and more new demands result, which also often require an adjustment of the catalog. If these adjustments were not considered in regular time frames, the catalog may slowly become incompatible.

CADENAS tries to check all catalogs in a time frame of max. 6 months and to protocol the status in a scoring table – at the end a grading from 1 (best) to 6 (worst) will represent the state. If the rating is worse then 3, the catalog creator / supplier will be explicitly informed about the defects. If they were not corrected despite our reporting, we will consider removing the catalog from all our platforms.

Following Points will be tested during the „CIP Release Check“ and stored in a ranking table:
