Why and how we certify in-car cabin filters – a Q&A
What is it that makes some in-car cabin air filters better for the indoor environment than others, and where do we draw the line to decide to certify them?
Certification
Get your product independently certified by Allergy Standards (ASL) to provide clarity and confidence for your customers.
We created the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program to scientifically test and identify consumer products that are more suitable for people with asthma and allergies. When consumers see the distinctive mark on a product, they know they are buying an asthma & allergy friendly® product.
Join Our Lab Network
Our partner laboratories conduct testing on behalf of our certification programs across a range of categories.
Our lab network has expertise in testing fabrics, chemicals, building products, finishes, vacuum cleaners, air cleaning devices, paint, flooring or immunoassay, and it’s continually growing. Find out how your lab can become an ASL partner.

Certification Standards
The Science Behind the Certification
The asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program is not just another unsubstantiated claim or stamp. Products bearing our certification mark have undergone stringent testing to a series of standards developed by our team of medical and healthcare experts. The number of Certification Standards continues to grow in order to encompass a wide range of products, supporting our commitment to the overall concept of allergen avoidance for people with asthma and allergies.
