RAL is one of the world’s longest standing labelling professionals. Consumers, companies, industry and trade have been placing their trust in RAL for more than 90 years. The particularly high quality standards for products and services are developed by independent experts, subjected to continuous monitoring by neutral institutions and constantly updated.

We set standards. Since 1925.

Our mission is to gain your trust. RAL Simply Excellent.

G	RAL QUALITY MARKS (GÜTEZEICHEN) A safe choice RAL Quality Marks (Gütezeichen) signal the particularly high level of quality of products and services to consumers. At the same time, they stand for clearly defined values: Companies that use RAL Quality Marks promise fair, honest and exemplary behaviour. They assume responsibility for their products and services and are thus reliable partners for consumers. www.ral-guetezeichen.de
C	RAL COLOURS RAL COLOURS is the world‘s leading colour standard for all professional users of colour in industry, trade, architecture and design. More than 2.500 colour tones deliver the highest level of precision and a varied choice. Products of RAL COLOURS are marketed via our own sales partners in over 85 countries. www.ral-colours.com
U	RAL ENVIRONMENT The awarding body for the Blue Angel for almost 40 years Consumers require reliable information in order to act in an environmentally concious manner. Environmental labels such as the “Blue Angel” or the “EU Ecolabel” provide assistance in this area. Both labels stand for particularly environmentally friendly goods and services, which are only permitted to carry the environmental label once they have passed a strict testing process. RAL ENVIRONMENT has organised the testing process and awarded the environmental labels since 1978. www.ral-umwelt.de
L	RAL LOGO LICENCE Brand marketing and monitoring The RAL LOGO LICENCE guarantees the worth of the tests carried out by Stiftung Warentest by monitoring and licensing advertising that uses the test results. Consumer deception and false advertising are prevented and the tests thus remain objective and independent. In addition, the RAL LOGO LICENCE is available to institutions and companies that want to independently market and/or monitor their brand. www.ral-logolizenz.de
A	RAL ACADEMY High quality communication of knowledge We pass on our specialist knowledge to interested parties and a variety of occupational groups at our seminars, workshops, presentations and talks. The provision of high quality further training to colour designers is a key focus of the RAL ACADEMY. www.ral-akademie.de

RAL – labelling expertise since 1925

Labels serve to provide guidance in an increasingly confusing world of products and services. To properly fullfil this role, a label needs to be objective, reliable and constantly up-to-date. RAL has been setting the standards in this area since 1925. Almost all of RAL's business areas focus to varying degrees on the theme of labelling: RAL Quality Marks, RAL Colours, RAL Environment and RAL Logo Licence.
