Application process
Every product group with a Blue Angel ecolabel has its own Basic Award Criteria containing individual requirements that need corresponding verification. Firstly check whether Basic Award Criteria already exist for the product or service you offer on the market. Take a look in the section existing basic award criteria to see if your product or service is already allocated to a product group.
If you find Basic Award Criteria for the Blue Angel ecolabel for your product or service, these criteria and other documentation for the application are available for download. The Basic Award Criteria are available in German and English. And the application can also be submitted in either German or English. To submit your application to RAL gGmbH, please use the online application portal exclusively. Instructions on how to use the web portal can be downloaded there as a pdf file.
If you are not able to allocate your product or service to one of the existing Basic Award Criteria, please check whether your product is included in the list of pending investigative orders.
