Identify the program owner
Government, standards body, independent certification organization and manufacturer self-declaration have different roles.
Understand what is actually certified
A label may apply to one attribute rather than the product as a whole.
Check current criteria
Programs change, so use the current official program source for important decisions.
Avoid badge counting
More logos do not automatically mean better overall quality.
