Test results in the branch

Stiftung Warentest

With many products, it's not so easy to recognize quality at first glance. To avoid relying on manufacturers' advertising claims, there are independent organizations that thoroughly test products and services. In Germany, this is done, among others, by the non-profit and state-funded Stiftung Warentest (German consumer testing organization). If a product receives a good or very good rating from Stiftung Warentest, or is even crowned test winner, you can be confident that you're making the right choice when buying it.

Our test results – your peace of mind

How do you find the best product? Quite simply: independent tests help you recognize quality. Organizations like Stiftung Warentest and Öko-Test provide you with assurance through their awards. With us, you'll find many products from renowned manufacturers, both online and in our stores, with additional tests from TÜV and Stiftung Warentest.

Want to know? We'll show you the test results!

If you want to shop with a focus on quality, safety, and sustainable prices, you need information. Independent tests provide insights into processing, practical application, and durability. They help you when buying groceries and all other goods for the home, sports and leisure, or workshop. Consumer protection is important to LIDL. That's why we publish test results to support you in your choices. Certificates and seals are just as important as test results.

Stiftung Warentest is one of the best-known institutions in Germany. This non-profit, state-funded organization operates independently. You can rely on its test results. Food, cosmetics, clothing, pet food, and technical devices are tested by experts and compared with other products. The tests are conducted regularly, so you can rely on the results and dates.

Certified quality for your household: objective, independent and fair

You want to shop sustainably and consciously. Quality and durability are important to you. We at LIDL support you in this with selected products and transparent test results. Many goods are subject to manufacturing regulations and undergo strict controls. These include food, cosmetics, children's toys, and clothing. Often, you'll find the TÜV seal or another label such as the Fairtrade certification for fair trade. The Green Button, a government-backed seal for sustainable textiles, provides information on social, environmental, and sustainability factors.

When shopping, you can rely on these seals and test marks. They are created by independent institutions that make objective judgments. LIDL supports this type of consumer protection and offers you high-quality products with a long lifespan.

Stiftung Warentest and Öko-Test advocate for greater transparency in shopping.

Stiftung Warentest is usually the first place you look when you want to find out about a product, its functionality, and purchase recommendations. We provide you with the test results along with the offer, so you know immediately how your product was rated. Besides Stiftung Warentest, Öko-Test has also established itself. Consumers are increasingly paying attention to fair and sustainable production. They want products that are free of harmful substances and contaminants. The magazine Öko-Test regularly publishes reports on various key topics. For quick reference, you'll find the Öko-Test results right next to the product at LIDL. We provide you with clear and concise information online and in your LIDL store. This gives you the opportunity to combine low prices with high quality and shop with confidence.
