Why the "OK" Quality Seal is needed?

Only condoms meeting the EuroNorm for condoms (EN ISO 4074) may be sold in Switzerland since mid 1998. They must bear either the mark CE for European or MC for Swiss manufacturers. Though its abidance and control are completely left to the manufacturers. Federal authorities intend to control quality by sampling. However consumers cannot be guaranteed high quality with such a system. If the sampling results in finding poor quality a large part of the merchandise has already been sold and it is often too late!

Only the "OK" Quality Seal guarantees condoms have really been independently tested and controlled before they end up on the market.
