RAL press release: Help in the labeling jungle - Five criteria for reliable labels (German only)

In the current press release from March 13, RAL Deutsches Institut für Gütesicherung und Kennzeichnung e. V. reports on the topic “5 criteria for reliable labels”. We have summarized this press release for you here and refer to the entire article as well as other publications.

Labels and markings are supposed to provide guidance - but it is often unclear what they really mean and whether they are reliable. So how can you recognize a truly trustworthy label? RAL Deutsches Institut für Gütesicherung und Kennzeichnung e. V. (German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification) provides information on this in the current press release “5 criteria for reliable labels”.

The following five criteria are decisive:

Objectivity - Clear, comprehensible award criteria and independent controls.
Transparency - Comprehensible statements, easily accessible criteria and clear design.
Up-to-dateness - Regular adaptation to new requirements and technological developments.
Independence - No economic or legal dependencies on awarding bodies or market participants.
Reliability - A reliable label creates trust through clear promises of quality.

RAL quality marks fulfill all these requirements - and often go beyond legal requirements. They stand for tested quality that gives consumers guidance.
