The new benchmarking function for brands is now available for beta testing in TCO Certified Portal. This new function helps brand owners spot areas where their brand or product performs well, or fall behind the competition.
Data is anonymous
You will only be able to view specific SPI data for certified products from your brand. All data from other brands are anonymous. No information can be traced to a specific brand or product model.
To protect anonymity, there must be at least three brands with certified products in a certain product category before data is visible in the benchmarking function. At the moment, only displays and desktops meet this requirement which means that the benchmarking function is only available for brand owners with certified products in these product categories.
Only generation 9 products are included
The benchmarking function only includes products certified according to TCO Certified, generation 9. Products certified to the previous generation of criteria will not be visible in this function. All products are included in Product Finder just like before.
Where can you find it?
Brand owners can find the benchmarking function on the start page of TCO Certified Portal.
Updates during the beta period
During the beta period, the user interface will change, and the numbers will be updated without a prior notice. Once the beta period ends, numbers will be updated quarterly according to a predefined schedule.
How long is the beta period?
Early next year, you will receive information about the end date of the beta period.
