for more than 50 years, Choosing helps you to consume better, to opt for the right product thanks to its tests, free of any commercial pressure or advertising. In order to better accompany you in everyday life, we are taking another step to now products best rated our tests show their note to the general public.
today more than yesterday, the consumer is lost in the multiplication of references of products, both in-store and on the Internet, and the multitude of labels which are more or less serious. 62 % of French say they lack reliable information on the products they buy, and 90 % declare first trust consumer associations to inform them (1). The UFC-que choisir wants to respond to this call. We have therefore decided to launch the Note Choose. With it, we intend to become even more visible, effective and influential while remaining ourselves : expert, activist, independent.
A note reserved to the best products
Now, the manufacturers of which a product has obtained a mark equal or superior to 14/20 in one of our comparative tests will be able to display this note on this one, but under strict conditions (read further). This new signage will allow you to locate in-store products, best rated, waiting as we know very strong. This project does not change our values and our ways of working. Our experts will continue to buy the products anonymously in the trade and will test according to our usual criteria, namely your actual conditions of use.
Note Choose will take the form of a logo
The new logo will indicate to the score obtained by the product during our comparative test, the date of publication of the test on our website www.quechoisir.org the number of products tested, as well as a marker locating the product in the range of the ratings. A simple, fast and secure way to move towards products that meet your expectations.
will You keep the undisclosed information
indeed, the Note Choose cannot be affixed only after the publication of the test. This note does not replace the wealth of tests that we publish. The evaluation criteria, the detail of the results and the opinion of the tester, which you are very attached, remain your exclusive.
independence preserved
in Order to maintain our independence vis-à-vis marks and better control of the times unfair to our results, the management and marketing of the Notes Choose among professionals, are managed by Bureau Veritas Certification, the independent third party and recognized leader in conformity assessment and certification. Its task is to ensure through random checks the strict compliance with the requirements of the specifications of the Note Choose. The contract governing the authorization given to the manufacturer provides procedures for removing and sanctions in case of non-compliance with these conditions.
Not with the misuse of the Note Choose
Your alertness, we will be very valuable since, as a consumer you look closely, you can also notify us of any unauthorized use of the Note via the Web site lanotequechoisir.org. You will have understood that, beyond its immediate usefulness to consumers, the Note Choose must also enable us to more effectively combat the times illicit, and thus ensure reliable information, transparent and relevant.
Finance services useful to consumers
The Note Choose is at the service of all consumers. The income generated by the permissions data will be used to cover the costs of the management and control of the Bureau Veritas Certification and the excess will feed into an endowment fund whose sole purpose is to participate in the financing of campaigns of general interest on the information, the awareness and education of consumers conducted by theUFC-que choisir. For example, this endowment fund will be used to produce more tools and informative service to all, such as interactive maps on
the quality of the tap water, mobile networks, the provision of care, or even as educational tools for a healthy diet and quality, or to assert your rights…
