Certification applies to a clearly named product or product family.
ABOUT MADE BY HUMAN
Human work deserves verifiable evidence.
As production becomes more automated, it becomes harder to see where people genuinely shape a product. Made by Human makes that difference visible and checkable.
THE IDEA
Human work is a real difference when it can be seen and evidenced.
Modern machinery and digital tools can support production. What matters for Made by Human is whether human work still materially shapes the product.
We start with the actual production process rather than a marketing phrase: what do people really do, where does technology support them, and how can that work be verified?
TECHNOLOGY MAY SUPPORT.The defining human contribution must remain real and verifiable.
Defined product
A clearly named physical product is assessed.
Clear scope
The certification is limited to human production.
Evidence
The production process must be verifiable.
Publicly checkable
Status and standard version can be checked in the register.
PRINCIPLES
A narrow claim, backed by a clear system.
The mark is supported by a standard, on-site verification, a documented decision and a public register.
We assess human production rather than making a general statement about the company.
Every certification decision refers to the standard version used for the assessment.
A unique ID connects the certification to a public register entry.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Standard, verification, decision and register remain connected.
Trust comes from the evidence behind the mark, not from the mark alone.
