Certification requirements for services

The ECARF Seal of Quality certifies not only allergy-friendly products, but also services, if the service provider can demonstrate consistent quality control and improvement of quality of life for allergic consumers.

In general, any service, including hotels, cafés, coffee houses or snack shops, restaurants or special cleaning systems can be awarded the Seal of Quality. The service provider is solely responsible for the accuracy of all information regarding the service and adherence to the ECARF criteria. The Seal does not guarantee that a product or service will be suitable for all allergic persons and is not an overall declaration of general usability.

We are happy to give you information and advice. 
Please contact us using the Opens internal link in current windowfollowing form.

You will find ECARF criteria for a variety of service categories in our Opens internal link in current windowdownload area.

A list of all ECARF-certified allergy-friendly services can be found under Opens internal link in current windowCertifications/Services.
