Shopping in Germany
Germany is full of excellent stores for all your shopping needs. According to the official German tourism site there are over 400 shopping malls throughout Germany. There are many National Labels that ensure the highest standards in all types of products. Stiftung Warentest is widely seen as the most well known and trusted of these National Labels.
Stiftung Warentest rates nearly every type of consumer product imaginable. In addition Stiftung Warentest also runs tests on financial services and whether or not products are environmentally friendly. Placing a good rating from Stiftung Warentest on a product is taken very seriously by consumers and thus is a good advertisement tool for businesses receiving this coveted rating. A link to their site is provided below; however, there is not an English version of the site available.
Stiftung Warentest is not the only National Label for German products. These other national labels cover safety standards for technical equipment, environmentally friendly seals and cosmetic safety. English links to these additional National Labels are provided below as well.
