The world's first exoskeleton with the AGR seal of approval - BIONICBACK
An excellent exoskeleton.
The BionicBack was the first exoskeleton to be awarded the prestigious AGR “Tested & Recommended” seal of approval. This distinction confirms its effectiveness and ergonomic excellence as recognized by leading experts in the fields of medicine, therapy, and research.
The AGR seal of approval is awarded exclusively to products that have been demonstrably classified as “back-friendly.” The basis for certification is a multi-stage testing process conducted by an independent interdisciplinary commission of experts consisting of physicians and therapists from various specialties. The testing commission evaluates each product according to strict, scientifically sound criteria.
The BionicBack is recommended by the Forum Gesunder Rücken - besser leben e.V. and the Bundesverband deutscher Rückenschulen (BdR) e.V., taking into account the following criteria:
-
Has a proven biomechanical effect on: Hip extensor muscles, back extensor muscles, trunk stabilizers
-
Reduces overloading during repetitive bending and lifting
-
Good fit
-
Adjustable to the individual activity profile
-
Comfortable handling
-
Low weight
-
Weather and environmental suitability
-
Easy to clean
-
Without restriction or hindrance in everyday working life
Before the actual certification, a comprehensive preliminary inspection takes place on site. In the main inspection, which takes place twice a year over several days, manufacturers must demonstrate the ergonomic benefits of their product through presentations, practical demonstrations, and, if necessary, study evidence. Only products that are convincing in all aspects receive the AGR seal of approval.
The high credibility of the AGR seal of approval is particularly noteworthy: it has been classified as reputable and trustworthy by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and recognized as an EU guarantee mark—a seal of quality that only a few test marks receive. The consumer initiative e. V. also awards the AGR seal of approval the highest rating of “highly recommended” on its Label-online.de portal.
For the BionicBack, this certification means that it has been proven to meet the highest standards in terms of ergonomics and back health – independently tested and officially recommended.
