FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of products can be labelled?
Any functional product composed of parts is eligible for the LONGTIME® label. Indeed, the product range is very wide, just to name a few major families: household appliances, computers, sports and leisure products, tools and professional equipment.
Excluded are automobiles and of course food and pharmaceutical products.
Which products are already labelled?
You can consult all labelled products on the LONGTIME® catalogue.
Why is the name of the LONGTIME® label in English?
LONGTIME® is a label without borders. Its short-term ambition is to become a reference in Europe. Indeed, there are no criteria for the country of manufacture or design because quality exists all over the world.
What is the procedure for obtaining the LONGTIME® label?
You can consult all the steps on this page or contact Ethikis for more information.
Does the labelling process require a large investment of time?
Entering the LONGTIME® approach suggests that you have familiarised yourself with the documentation, the criteria of the label, the process and the conditions of use of the label. To prepare for the audit, it will be necessary to ensure the availability of documents and resource persons enabling the auditor to obtain proof of the product’s compliance with the label criteria.
As the manufacturers testify, the process requires the time necessary for quality work. Take the time to read their comments!
Can I submit only certain products for labelling?
The LONGTIME® label refers to the product and not to the brand or company. Thus, it is possible to submit only certain products or ranges for labelling. On the other hand, an audit can cover several ranges and several product families. Certain criteria are moreover generally cross-cutting.
How much does the LONGTIME® label cost?
The LONGTIME® approach has been designed so that cost is not an obstacle. The cost of the process consists of the evaluation fees, directly invoiced by the chosen control body, and the fees for using the label. Feel free to fill out the request form to obtain a personalised quote.
