The issue we want to solve

Every year, millions of IT products fail prematurely due to issues like cracked screens, faulty hinges, or worn-out components, leading to e-waste and expensive replacements. To address this, we have established strict durability criteria for certified products.

How the criterion works

Before a product is certified, it must undergo comprehensive durability testing. These tests simulate real-world conditions by evaluating the device’s ability to withstand drops and operate reliably under high and low temperatures.

Benefits for IT buyers and users

Investing in durable products leads to fewer replacements, reduced costs, and a smaller e-waste footprint. Keeping products longer helps you save money while reducing your climate impact and other environmental impacts.
