Its my experience that curators and the like cannot even supply an 'approved' list as this might imply some sort of preference to a set of companies, more often as Sith says they just maintain a list of companies who have successfully completed work. But I would defend the curators right to make sure work is recorded to a adequate standard: in most cases getting on the list (of whatever kind) is normally a matter of sending your manuals off with a set of recording sheets etc.
