Greater transparency regarding the hygienic properties of products

Wie lassen sich zusätzliche hygienische Produkteigenschaften sichtbar und glaubwürdig kommunizieren? Mit dem neu entwickelten Prüfzeichen „Wirksamkeit Anti-Bakteriell und Anti-Mykotisch“ bietet das Prüf- und Forschungsinstitut Pirmasens e.V. (PFI) Herstellern eine Möglichkeit, genau diesen Mehrwert nachvollziehbar zu belegen. Entwickelt wurde das Prüfzeichen aus einer konkreten Notwendigkeit heraus und aufgrund einer wachsenden Nachfrage am Markt. Dass das Angebot bereits von ersten Kunden genutzt wird, zeigt: Der Bedarf an verlässlichen Qualitätsnachweisen wächst.

Why it’s worth taking a closer look at the test mark

  • The test mark enables manufacturers to demonstrate at a glance that their products are effectively protected against unwanted microbial contamination.
  • This lays a solid foundation for communicating product features effectively and positioning the brand clearly against the competition.

The quality mark is aimed at companies in the footwear, textiles and other materials sectors that wish to credibly demonstrate an additional hygienic benefit to their customers. The test assesses whether treated materials effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and certain micro-fungi – a benefit that is becoming increasingly relevant, particularly for heavily used products.

This provides manufacturers with a reliable basis for presenting additional product features in a transparent manner and for utilising new selling points in marketing, sales and customer engagement.

The quality mark promotes transparency and offers practical added value for manufacturers and customers. If you would like to find out how to credibly demonstrate and effectively communicate the additional quality features of your products, it is worth taking a closer look at this service.
