Step 1: Application
Send the completed and signed application form with details of the company and the products to be certified together with the signed non-disclosure agreement and the signed offer to Service Allergie Suisse.
Step 2: Assessment
The certification process can be started after receipt of all necessary documents and consists of three tests by independent bodies:
- Committee of scientific experts
- Committee of medical experts
- On-site product- or process-related audit at the manufacturing plant by an independent accredited audit company.
Once all the assessments have been successfully completed, the audit report is released by Service Allergie Suisse.
Step 3: Issue License and Certificate
