Awarded jointly by UNESCO and AHPADA on an annual basis, the Seal aims to enhance international awareness of ASEAN handicrafts and to serve as a quality control mechanism and marketing device for the promotion of hand-made traditional or innovative craft products from the region which conform to rigorous standard of cultural, environmental and production excellence. Products or product lines qualifying for the UNESCO-AHPADA SEAL must conform to rigorous standards of cultural, environmental and production excellence.
