In highly competitive markets, product differentiation is a key element of the purchase decision. Voluntary certifications allow you to highlight your product's benefits and qualities, enabling you to better communicate with your client under the certifying brand's quality warranty.
Our solution
We have developed a voluntary certification service under the Applus+ brand with which your company can guarantee and communicate your product's differential benefits to the final consumer. This voluntary certification is based on a Specific Certification System (SCS) and ends with placing the Applus+ mark on each of your products.
The Applus+ mark guarantees the client the product's qualities and added value, such as raw materials, manufacturing process, functionality, and characteristics, among other things.
There are two types of Applus+ product certification:
- Personalized certification of your product
- Applus+ certifications already defined by product category: recognized by the industry and the industry's users, and in some cases by the government
