The Supplier Reference Letter is a critical business document used in Austrian commercial contexts to provide formal verification of a supplier's performance and reliability. It serves as a professional testimony from an existing or past client about their experience with the supplier, typically requested when the supplier is seeking new business relationships, participating in tenders, or establishing credibility in new markets. The document must comply with Austrian commercial law, including the UGB (Unternehmensgesetzbuch), data protection regulations (GDPR), and competition law (UWG). Reference letters often contain specific details about the business relationship, performance metrics, and quality assessments, while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional standards. These letters are particularly important in Austrian business culture, where formal documentation and professional references carry significant weight in business decisions.
