Excellent! Why the name ‘ergobag’ says it all

Our school bags are not only ergonomic. The usability of our school companions ergobag pack, ergobag cubo, ergobag cubo light and ergobag maxi has also been tested and approved - by proven experts: The IGR is a nationwide association and works under the motto “We strengthen your back”. The IGR - Institute for Health and Ergonomics e.V. (IGR e.V.) - is a strong network consisting of doctors, physiotherapists, scientists, employees in occupational health management, representatives of authorities or product developers, retailers - they all deal with health and ergonomics. As an institute for health and ergonomics, the IGR supports a wide range of interest groups, conducts research, prepares studies, provides training, certifies, is a development partner and consultant, and its tests are based on the selected standards (DIN 33419 and EN ISO 15537) and the guidelines on ergonomics and occupational health and safety.

Nicht nur unsere Produkte wurden mehrfach mit dem Gütesiegel des IGR ausgezeichnet: Der Verein hat uns 2020 sogar für unsere Aktivitäten im Bereich Ergonomie ausgezeichnet und wir tragen nun stolz den Innovationspreis Ergonomie!

Wie läuft die Zertifizierung beim IGR ab?

Die Testung des IGR basiert auf einem Methodenmix: subjektive und objektive Testverfahren werden angewendet.

1. Subjektiv: Die Produkte werden anhand von Nutzungstests durch Versuchspersonen und durch Einschätzungen von Experten Ärzte, Physiotherapeuten, Biomechaniker, usw.) bewertet.

2. Objektiv: Die Druckverteilung wird durch eine sogenannte Drucksensormatte gemessen. Durch die Durcksensormatte kann die Druckverteilung des Rucksacks auf dem Rücken gemessen werden. In der Matte befinden sich viele einzelne Sensoren, sodass der Druck an den unterschiedlichen Stellen des Rückens abgelesen werden kann - so zum Beispiel der Druck aber die Schulterblätter oder den Lordosebereich.

Ziel ist es eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung zu erreichen und Druckspitzen zu vermeiden.

Warum haben wir uns für eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem IGR entschieden?

There are many good reasons for our collaboration with the IGR: The IGR focuses on the degree to which the product adapts to physical characteristics. The IGR therefore only awards the seal of approval to products that take into account the full range of physical characteristics and therefore adapt optimally and individually to the body. In addition, the seal of approval sees itself as an advocate for people with back problems.

This has now also been positively assessed by the Prüfportal Label Online and the IGR label has been recognized as particularly recommendable and demanding.

On your back... get set... go!

The fact that our ergobag can be adapted to the different characteristics of children's backs and individually to the respective wearer is due to its infinitely adjustable, ergonomic back system: The ergobag combines the ergonomic concept of innovative trekking backpacks with everything a school bag has to achieve and follows the principle of optimal load distribution, which has proven itself in professional mountain sports. The ergobag also grows with you - from 1 m to 1.50 m. And the IGR e.V confirms that it is extremely easy to use: adjusting the carrying system is child's play and ergobag proves to be an excellent school companion in everyday use.
