Keep the award with the assessed product
Place the mark where readers can identify the awarded product. A brand page or catalogue must make clear which individual product holds the award.
| Use | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Product page or brochure | Name the assessed product and link to its award record where practicable. |
| Award announcement | State the award year and identify the product or ingredient. |
| Company website | Keep the mark beside the awarded product; do not imply a company-wide award. |
| Packaging or a physical label | Check the market-specific rules and any conditions recorded for that award. |
Use the supplied artwork
Use the original digital files. Keep the badge, lettering, colours, proportions and award year intact. Do not redraw it, add claims inside it or combine it with another certification symbol.
Check packaging before production
Show the proposed placement, surrounding text, product version and intended market when requesting a use check. A use check confirms compliance with award permission; the applicant remains responsible for local packaging and advertising requirements.
Ingredients and specialist nutrition
An ingredient award must not be presented as an award for a finished product. For infant nutrition, medical nutrition and other specialist products, use only the publicity permitted in the recorded decision and applicable market.
Ingredient communication
Name the ingredient and assessed application. Do not extend the award to customer products.
Read ingredient criteriaSpecialist communication
Keep the population, use and publication conditions visible.
Read specialist criteriaMake the mark legible
Allow clear space around the full badge. Use a plain background with sufficient contrast and reproduce the artwork at a size at which its wording can be read. Check an actual-size proof before printing.
- Preserve the original aspect ratio.
- Keep other text and graphics outside the badge.
- Do not crop, recolour, stretch or animate individual elements.
- Add a nearby link or reference to the award record where the format allows.
Check the term and report changes
The end date is shown in the register and your account. Stop new use when permission expires, is suspended or is withdrawn. Report material product changes before applying the mark to the revised version. Historical announcements must remain clearly dated and must not suggest current permission.
