Test Achats

Test Aankoop (Dutch) or Test Achats (French) is a Belgian non-profit consumer organization which promotes consumer protection.

It was founded in 1957 and publishes research in a subscription magazine.

Test Achats was founded by Louis Darms in November 1957 as the Association des Consommateurs (French) / Verbruikersunie (Dutch).

Those organizations are the Comitato Difesa Consumatori in Italy, the Organization de Consumidores y Usuarios in Spain, and the Associação Portuguesa para a Defesa do Consumidor in Portugal.

[1] The organization was a party to a 2011 lawsuit, Test-Achats vs Council of Ministers, in which it advocated for an end to using gender as a basis for determining insurance rates.
