Together for a back-healthy life!
Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR) e. V. is an independent association that has been committed to promoting back health for over 30 years. Our aim is to help people prevent back pain and find ergonomic solutions more easily.
We award the AGR ‘Tested & Recommended’ seal of approval to products that have been proven to be back-friendly.
The assessment is carried out by an independent review panel comprising doctors and therapists from various disciplines, who evaluate each product according to strict criteria.
In addition, we provide in-depth knowledge on ergonomics, exercise and back health.
To this end, we train specialist retailers and therapists, work closely with independent experts and provide consumers with clear, practical information.
Anyone wishing to support our independent work and join us in promoting back health can become a supporting member.

It is therefore one of the few seals of quality to have received this high-quality international award as an EU certification mark.
