Companies, associations and organisations can become sponsoring members of the German Certification Association if they have an interest in ensuring that the aims and objectives of the Association are met and supported, especially in the field of applied practical research relevant to RAL Quality Certification Marks.
The duties of sponsoring members with the above status are to serve as technical partners for the management team and the test centre and to make an annual financial contribution. The financial contributions made by the sponsoring members are used in their entirety for research work; so far this has helped to finance the German Certification Association's research work each year. In addition to the support with ideas, the benefits for sponsoring members come in the form of a number of extra opportunities:Better and more personal contact with members of the Department Function and Care at the Hohenstein Institute and therefore the opportunity for more intensive exchange of ideas.
