In order for food and beverages to be certified, at least one allergy-inducing ingredient (e.g. gluten or lactose) must be demonstrably removed using suitable processes so that a certain limit value is not exceeded. The organisation must also have an appropriate allergen management system in place. Under certain conditions, food and beverages that do not naturally contain the allergy-inducing substance can also be certified.

The detailed criteria for food certification can be found here.

In order for cosmetics to be certified, they must contain the 26 potentially allergenic substances in only very limited quantities. The Allergy Seal of Quality bans them at concentrations that are 10 times lower than specified by Swiss law. In addition to the basic requirements listed above, the claims "without perfume/without fragrances" and "without dyes" are also tested if they are advertised or used on the packaging.

The detailed criteria for the certification of cosmetics and a list of ingredients that are permitted only to a limited extent can be found here.

In order for technical products to be certified, allergens must be kept away from allergy sufferers in accordance with a specified percentage through removal (vacuum, washing), filtration (filtration), or retention (barrier). However, certified vacuum cleaners do not necessarily have to be equipped with a dust collection bag.

You can find the criteria for the certification of technical products here.
