Ideal For

Overview
Endorsement scheme for a wide range of products (from air conditioners and bedding to cars and cleaning products) which specifically restrict or remove high levels of named allergens from the environment.
Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Conformity with British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval's standard is verified by our own organization (second party).
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
Allergy UK conducts a second-party review of product documentation and technical evidence submitted by the manufacturer. Reviewers assess whether the product demonstrably restricts or removes named allergens from the environment. There is no on-site audit; evaluation is based on submitted evidence and product testing data.
Consider Alternatives If...
Avoid if your product does not directly reduce or restrict allergen exposure, as the scheme is specifically focused on allergen mitigation. Companies seeking a globally recognised or ISO-accredited third-party certification may find the second-party verification model insufficient for international markets.
