Awarded back-friendly?
Back pain is the number 1 widespread disease! Back pain is still the reason for most days of incapacity to work. Fortunately, anyone looking for help can find many health offers, products or aids that can prevent or alleviate back pain.
The problem is that it is often difficult for individuals to find their way through the jungle of products on offer. Which products actually help against back pain and which don’t? For you as a manufacturer of ergonomic products that actually counteract back pain, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stand out from the mass of products on offer.
For this reason, we created the AGR seal of approval over 25 years ago, which recognises products that have been proven to promote back health. The AGR seal of approval is awarded by an independent panel of health experts and shows: „This product can help prevent or alleviate back pain“.
As a manufacturer, you have the opportunity to set yourself apart from other offers with confidence, as the back-friendliness of your products has been confirmed by an interdisciplinary commission.
The AGR seal of approval is only arwaded to products that have been assessed as particularly back-friendly. For this assessment, the professional associations „Forum Gesunder Rücken – besser leben e. V.“ and the „Bundesverband deutscher Rückenschulen e. V.“ (Federal Association fo German Back Schools) put together an independent test commission made up of various health experts.
The quality of the AGR seal of approval was awarded the highest rating of „highly recommended“ by the federal German Consumer Initiative Association on the consumer portal label-online.de. The European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has also recognised the testing process and the AGR seal of approval as an EU certification mark and thus as absolutely reputable and trustworthy. It is therfore one of the few seals of approval to have received this high-quality international award. Another trust element that confirms the independence, credibility and quality standards of the AGR seal of approval and shows that consumers and partners can rely on it!

AGR has great communication skills and has helped us to convey Opel's expertise in 'Healthy Sitting' on a high level.
TOGU GmbH
Our customers show great acceptance of the seal. Specialist retailers use the seal of approval in their sales literature to verify the quality of the respective product and indicate how back-friendly it is. Increasingly, we see more and more customers asking directly about back-friendly products.
SLASHPIPE GmbH & Co. KG
It was and is very helpful for us to be able to revert to a partner that is anchored so firmly in the market and that enjoys the trust and confidence of the health associations and sports experts. For us, partnership with the AGR is a long-term strategic decision. We are constantly in close contact and feel well looked after.
aeris GmbH and inventor of the Swopper
To have AGR's backing has helped immensely, with the board of experts giving full support to our ideas. Together with the AGR board, we have really been breaking the ground here to inform medical professionals, health experts and the general public about these new findings.
officeplus GmbH
The AGR-Seal of Approval has enormously gained in importance over the last years. It represents a helpful and trustworthy guide in decision making for the consumer. Our own back friendly products gain due appreciation through the AGR certification. Moreover, the AGR provides a platform for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
Sedus Stoll AG
We realise, that customers explicitly ask their retailer for AGR certified chairs. Others come to us because their physiotherapist drew ergonomic solutions to their attention. By now also the retailers pass exams to become certified – therefore one thing has led to another. Tender terms often include the AGR certification as a requirement.
Louis Steitz Secura
The AGR possesses an outstanding reputation, because it’s neutrality. The mutual aim is a higher one than the enterprising generation of revenues. It is about acting preventive rather than curative, also with safety shoes. From head to toes everything is connected.
Nearly every company doctor and safety officer is familiar with the AGR. To us the AGR Seal of Approval is a conformation of our efforts to do more than simply incorporate a steel cap. We earned ourselves a unique proposition in our sector and we differentiate ourselves therefore from competitors who’s marketing messages partly lack further verification.
