Sweden for All is responsible for the tests performed on behalf of the Swedish Rheumatism Association.
The tests are conducted to measure the ease of handling of products and packages. As measuring instruments we use a group of 10-20 people with reduced hand function. During the test they perform and judge every handling step on a scale where 0= impossible, 1= very hard, 2= neither hard nor easy, 4= rather easy and 5= very easy.
The average result from the testing group is calibrated to a reference group of over hundred people with reduced hand function.
Your product or package can be approved, and use a label from the Swedish Rheumatism Association, if the calibrated result is good enough for all handling steps.The method is scientifically reviewed.
Approximately six products or packages can be tested at the same occasion. The result is delivered as a report with graphs showing the results, comments on the handling steps from the test people and pictures as an option. If a package is approved there will be a separate agreement with the Swedish Rheumatism Association about how to use the label. You can also order video documentation from the test.
