36 or more certified. 29 to 35 conditional, with defined improvement measures. Below 29 not certified yet. Up to six bonus points sit on top, for a maximum of 54.
Toilets and changing carry ten points, the heaviest section, ahead of the entrance, the atmosphere and the food. That weighting is the judgement in the system, and it came from asking parents rather than venue owners.
Real reports are written in German.
