13 FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why would I have my products and services assessed with the EVE VEGAN label? We offer a unique expertise service to assure companies that the vegan claim is valid and true. We have detailed these many advantages on page 2. Do you control companies or products? The label only applies to products and services. Control procedures and field checks ensure the reliability of labelled products in relation to the company's other non-compliant products. This strategy allows faster development of vegan alternatives and the transformation of know-how in companies. Where can I use the EVE VEGAN label once my application has been validated? You can use the trademark on the packaging of labelled products, on social networks, on your website and on other promotional materials. A graphic charter with the conditions of use of the label is provided to each operator. Am I free to register all my vegan compatible products? It is possible for EVE to refuse to register products that are inappropriate to the claim. We reserve the right to refuse any product that conflicts with our standards. Reasons shall be given for any refusal. How can I obtain the EVE VEGAN label? The easiest way to start the process is to formalize your request for a quote on our website or to contact us. How long does it take to record EVE VEGAN? The procedure takes 3 to 8 weeks. This depends on the complexity of your products and the efficiency of communication between EVE and the operator. In the case of subcontracting, can a product manufactured on behalf of a customer be registered or must the customer manage the request? EVE agrees to make the labeling file with the manager mandated by the final customer. However, it is the brand or legal entity responsible for the products that must sign the contracts and pay for the services. The EVE VEGAN certificate will only be issued in the customer's name.
