Rates Eurorec Seal Level 1

Rates EuroRec Seal Level 1

The rate to be applied depends on the efforts required by The EuroRec Institute and the role of the EuroRec Partner Organisations1.

The efforts are related to the involvement of EuroRec in either one or more of the phases of quality labelling foreseen:

- Assisting and preparing the vendor, e.g. by explaining and documenting the criteria, assisting the vendor to complete the templates2 - Pre-testing the application and assist in producing the required self-assessment documentation2 - Final testing of the application and reporting results of those tests, done by either EuroRec or a Partner Organisation not involved in the previous phases - Granting the Seal based on the test documentation

It is strongly advised to hire the services of a EuroRec Partner Organisation in order to increase chances of success. These are “consultancy” services to be agreed on between the vendor and that Partner Organisation.
