Statement on Wellness Certified Certifications and its International Legal Framework

Wellness Certified issues certifications that complement the existing international regulatory framework and other applicable standards in each country. It is important to note that these certifications do not replace the mandatory certifications established by the laws of each country for specific products and services, such as:

• Consumer products: Food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, toys, household appliances, electronic equipment, etc.

• Industrial products: Machinery, personal protective equipment, construction materials, chemical products, etc.

• Services: Calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, certification services, etc.

Most legislation in the world allows the issuance of certifications in those areas not exclusively reserved to each State. Wellness Certified certification processes adhere to the applicable norms and standards of each country, always with the aim of providing consumers and companies with a complementary and non-substitutive guarantee on the quality, safety and well-being of products and services.

What does this mean?

• Complementarity: Our certifications complement mandatory certifications, providing consumers and companies with additional information about the quality, safety and well-being associated with products and services.

• Voluntary: The Wellness Certified certification is voluntary and seeks to recognize those products and services that exceed the minimum requirements established by law.

• Trust: By obtaining a Wellness Certified certification, companies demonstrate their commitment to quality, safety and well-being, generating greater trust in their products and services.

• Added Value: Wellness Certified certifications offer added value to products and services, providing greater confidence to consumers.

In summary:

• Wellness Certified is an independent certification body that adheres to national and international legal frameworks.

• The certifications issued by Wellness Certified operate within the international legal framework, complementing mandatory certifications and providing consumers with an additional tool to make informed decisions.

• Wellness Certified certification processes are transparent and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable at national and international level.

To find out the specific requirements and regulations applicable to each product or service, it is recommended to consult the competent authorities in the matter.

Wellness Certified is committed to working in collaboration with the national and international authorities and other certification bodies to guarantee the quality and safety of products and services all over the world.

IMPORTANT: Our certifications are not applicable to so-called "miracle products" or those that may pose any risk to the safety or health of users or consumers.

Our certification processes are based on transparency and trust, ensuring that certified products and services meet the highest standards of well-being and ethics.

Objectivity and responsibility are fundamental pillars in our processes, which is why we strive to establish clear and verifiable standards, ensuring that our certifications are awarded in a fair and objective manner.

Health as an element of well-being is not simply the absence of disease.

The definition of health goes beyond the absence of disease, including mental and emotional well-being.
