For manufacturers
Your product may already have been assessed.
We assess products of our own accord, without contacting anyone first. If yours earned the award, a licence turns that result into marketing you can defend: the seal on your packaging, an ID anyone can check, and a public evidence record that does the arguing for you.
EPEI / INDEPENDENCEYou can strengthen the evidence. You can never change the rule that decides.
From evidence to a claim buyers can check
- 01
Check the register
Look up whether your product already holds an award, or run a free pre-check to see how it would stand against its category benchmark.
- 02
Correct or complete the record
Spotted an error, or hold documentation we could not find publicly? Submit it. Corrections are welcome and are labelled as manufacturer-submitted in the report.
- 03
License a passed award
After a pass, a 12-month licence gives you the seal files, the certificate and the right to advertise with it. Declining costs you nothing — the award and its public record remain.
The award ID and QR code open the current status, the exact product, the score, the benchmark version and the full evidence report — including whether the manufacturer was involved at all.
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.
