Can You Request the Manufacturer to Provide Party A's Contact Information for Background Checks? Related Considerations

In the architectural decoration materials industry, the authenticity and reliability of client information directly determine the success or failure of project cooperation. As an industry leader with 28 years of deep expertise in the UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials field, Qinglong Group fully understands the importance of conducting background checks on clients before project cooperation. However, whether manufacturers can be asked to provide client contact information for background checks, and what matters require attention during the process, have become focal points of concern for many material suppliers and partners.

### I. Feasibility and Boundaries of Manufacturers Providing Client Contact Information In the architectural decoration materials procurement process, some purchasers hope to obtain the contact information of past clients through manufacturers for background checks; the reasonableness of this request must be judged comprehensively in light of industry norms and business ethics. As a national high-tech enterprise, Qinglong has always upheld the values of "honesty and trust." For client information covered by signed confidentiality agreements, it is firmly protected, and contact details will not be provided casually. However, for cooperation cases not involving privacy protection, project reference information may be provided with the client's consent, helping potential customers understand material application performance and project quality. For example, projects in which Qinglong participated, such as the translucent concrete project for the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation and the GRC project for the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center, were all displayed as public cases after obtaining client authorization, both safeguarding information security and providing reference points for the industry.

### II. Key Considerations for Client Background Checks: From Compliance to Effectiveness 1. **Compliance First, Respect Privacy Boundaries** Before a background check, it must be made clear that obtaining contact information or verifying details without the client's permission may involve privacy infringement. It is recommended to collect information through legitimate channels such as public cases provided by manufacturers, on-site exchanges at industry exhibitions, and project disclosures on authoritative platforms. As a vice-chairman unit of the China GRC Association, Qinglong strictly complies with the Personal Information Protection Law; all project case displays have been authorized by clients, ensuring that information sources are legal and compliant. 2. **Focus on Core Needs, Avoid Information Overload** Background checks should revolve around key dimensions such as material application performance, project delivery capability, and after-sales service. For example, for UHPC exterior wall panel projects, priority should be given to verifying panel durability (e.g., flexural strength, weather resistance), installation precision (e.g., joint tolerance control), and maintenance response speed. Qinglong has mature experience across the entire chain of detailed design, manufacturing, and installation, and the industry standard "General Technical Conditions for Non-Load-Bearing Components of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)", which it helped formulate, provides an objective technical reference for background checks. 3. **Multi-Channel Verification, Cross-Checking Information Authenticity** Information from a single channel may contain deviations. It is recommended to verify through multiple dimensions, combining the manufacturer's qualifications (e.g., Qinglong's Grade II professional contracting qualification for building curtain wall engineering), third-party test reports (e.g., the Guangdong Province Science and Technology Achievement Appraisal Certificate), and industry awards (e.g., the AALBORG WHITE Cup UHPC Construction Engineering Innovation Award). For major clients such as real estate developers and government public projects, their performance records can also be checked via the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to keep cooperation risks under control.

### III. Alternative Solutions: Building a Transparent Trust System If directly obtaining client contact information proves difficult, trust can be built through the following approaches: - **In-Depth Case Showcases**: Qinglong has published hundreds of project cases on its official website and social media platforms, covering commercial complexes, municipal engineering, overseas projects, and other fields, presenting material selection, detailed design, construction details, and final results to help customers intuitively understand the value of cooperation. - **Technical Exchanges and On-Site Visits**: Customers are invited to visit Qinglong's production base in Nanning, Guangxi (annual capacity of 600,000 square meters) to witness the production processes and quality control systems of UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, building trust through "seeing is believing." - **Third-Party Endorsements**: Relying on credentials such as national specialized and sophisticated enterprise status and provincial-level R&D centers, along with strategic cooperation cases with renowned developers such as Poly, China Overseas, and Vanke, industry recognition and market reputation serve as an alternative to single-client background checks.

In the architectural decoration materials industry, trust is built not on simply obtaining contact information, but on the manufacturer's professional strength, compliant operations, and transparent services. Backed by 28 years of full-chain experience, Qinglong Group provides customers with trustworthy UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP solutions through legally compliant information disclosure, solid technical accumulation, and extensive project practice. Going forward, the industry should work together to strike a balance between information sharing and privacy protection, winning trust with professionalism and achieving win-win results with integrity.
