For distributors
Give assortment claims an evidence trail.
Look up whether a product in your assortment already holds an award, or have one assessed. Either way, channel partners get one public record tied to the exact variant.
EPEI / INDEPENDENCEA distributor can put a product forward. Only the documented product can earn the award.
From evidence to a claim buyers can check
- 01
Nominate
Start with the exact model, target market and a European product or retail page.
- 02
Establish the benchmark
Category and price class determine the expectations; individual comparison products do not decide the score.
- 03
Share the record
Use the current public verification page in channel conversations; usage rights remain explicit and time-bound.
Where money comes in
Most awards were never paid for.
Every assessment is free, whether we chose the product ourselves or a manufacturer asked us to look at it. A pass is published either way. The only fee is the optional 12-month licence, which buys the right to advertise with the seal — never the result.
