“The LONGTIME® label confirms the commitments we have made since the creation of our company to guarantee our customers the quality and robustness of our products. Receiving this external recognition is a satisfaction for the whole team.”

Alain Loubet, Manager at Xplorer


a guarantee of quality and impartiality

For a label, relying on an impartial and independent accreditation process is a matter of evidence. And so it is vital that partnerships are made with control bodies that are recognised for high standards, for their independence and for their expertise. Their international positioning allows them to evaluate products from all over the world.

In recognition of this, LONGTIME® has formed partnerships with:


A subsidiary of Apave, a leading company in the control of technical, human and environmental risks.


A subsidiary of Ecocert, a certification body specialising in sustainability.


why label your products?

Consumers are fed-up with planned obsolescence and looking for products that are robust, repairable and designed to last…. but they don’t know how to find them, or who to trust.

The LONGTIME® label highlights products from manufacturers who want to extend the life of objects, make them more robust and easier to repair, and offer quality after-sales service.
