Certificate Verification
ICD Verification Register
The International Council of Drinkware maintains a public register of all certificates issued. Any person in possession of a certificate bearing the ICD seal may verify its authenticity here.
A certificate not found in this register has not been issued by the Council. The Council takes no position on how it came to exist.
How to Verify
Every ICD certificate carries a reference number in the format ICD-YYYY-NNN — for example, ICD-2026-001. Locate this number on the certificate and find the corresponding entry in the register below.
A valid certificate will show:
- The certificate reference number
- The vessel name as submitted
- The manufacturer / applicant name as submitted
- The certified Configurations
- The date of issue
- Current status — Active or Revoked
If the reference number does not appear in the register, the certificate has not been issued by the Council.
If the reference number appears but the vessel name, Composite String, or compact notation on the physical certificate does not match the register, the certificate has been altered. The Council invites correspondence at icdrinkware@gmail.com.
Verification Register
All certificates issued by the International Council of Drinkware since its founding in 2026. Updated upon each new certification and immediately upon revocation.
| Reference | Vessel | Manufacturer/Applicant | Configurations | Date Issued | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | — | — | — | — |
No certificates have been issued to date. The Council opened for applications on 14 March 2026. The register will be updated as certifications are approved.
On Revoked Certificates
A revoked certificate remains in this register permanently. It is not removed. Revocation is a finding, not an erasure.
A revoked entry will show the date of revocation and the grounds. The vessel may be resubmitted for certification after the deficiency has been remedied, at the Council's discretion. A resubmitted vessel that passes assessment receives a new reference number. The revoked entry remains.
The Council does not pursue holders of revoked certificates. It simply ensures that anyone who checks will find the record.
On Forgeries
The Council has no enforcement mechanism. It cannot compel anyone to stop producing false certificates. It cannot fine, prosecute, or pursue.
What it can do is maintain this register with complete accuracy, so that any person who wishes to know whether a certificate is genuine may find out in under a minute.
A forged certificate is not a finding. It is not a certification. It is a piece of paper. This register is the only source of truth the Council recognises.
If you believe you have encountered a forged certificate, write to icdrinkware@gmail.com. The Council will note it.
The Council classifies the moment. Not the object.
