Everything You Need to Know About Certification

The facts about the program

Many products promise to help control allergens. But some products make false or exaggerated claims. This makes it hard for consumers to know the best products to buy.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America joined with Allergy Standards Limited to create the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program. This program helps people make informed purchases for a healthier home. We test household products against strict standards. If products pass our tests, they earn the Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly® mark.
