Tests and Surveys

Before we take a position, we start with evidence. Comparative product tests and multi-country surveys give us a clear picture of what consumers experience and the confidence to advocate for change.

Our approach

How a finding is made.

Our national organisations stay close to consumers and run the research in their markets. Science guides every result, and a shared approach across countries shows what people experience, market by market.

01

Spot the issue

Consumer experience shows us what needs measuring, and where.

02

Choose the method

We define the test or survey approach so results can be compared across markets.

03

Gather the data

Our survey team runs the research across our member countries and beyond.

04

Share the findings

We publish what we find, and it shapes our positions.

What we measure

Four kinds of evidence.

Tests show how products perform. Surveys show what consumers think and need. Together they give us a full picture

Comparative tests

Independent testing of products and services, carried out by our national organisations.

In-depth surveys

Consumer surveys follow what people think and experience over time, from prices to digital services.

Flash surveys

Short surveys that take consumers’ pulse on a topic of the moment.

Tailored surveys

Surveys designed with partners around specific questions.

Compare experiences. We identify shared consumer challenges and opportunities for change across markets.

Share expertise. We combine research, knowledge and experience across our network to strengthen the evidence behind our work.

Drive change. We use cross-border evidence to amplify the consumer voice in European and international policy and enforcement.
