No Award Fees
GSQA charges no application, review, award, certificate or mark-licence fees. The award cannot be purchased. Testing, translation, notarisation and authentication obtained from independent providers remain the applicant’s external costs. Paying a provider neither guarantees an award nor changes the assessment threshold.
Evidence Before Reputation
The same threshold applies to an emerging brand and an established manufacturer. Brand size, advertising expenditure and a previous distinction do not replace the required test evidence. A report showing only a pass result establishes compliance, not an award-worthy margin.
Submit Complete Evidence
Provide the complete report with annexes, amendments and sample identification; the laboratory’s relevant qualification; a clause-by-clause comparison; and the required English and authentication documents. Uploads and subsequent requests are handled through the applicant account.
