Eco-Labeling/EPDs Program

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recently sponsored an independently conducted market analysis examining the current and future state of the Eco-labels and Environmental Product Declarations programs. The study confirmed a growing demand for an ANSI-led accreditation program based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards that focus on determining the eligibility of a Type I certification schemes and Type III program operators. This program also covers the accreditation of eco-labeling certification bodies and conformity assessment bodies that verify and validate Environmental Product Declarations.

ANSI launches the following new programs:

TYPE I

1.0 Determination of Eligibility of Environmental Labeling Certification Scheme

An environmental labeling certification scheme owner seeking to achieve eligibility for its Eco-labeling scheme by ANSI is required to comply with the all applicable requirements and processes contained in ISO 14020, Environmental labels and declarations - General Principles, and ISO 14024, Environmental labels and declarations - Type I environmental labeling - Principles and procedures, as well as ANSI Procedure PRO-PR-164 -ISO 14024, Requirements/Process to Determine Eligibility of a Type I Environmental Labeling Certification Scheme, and PRO-FR-104-ECO-ISO14024, Application for Eligibility of Type I Environmental Labeling Certification Scheme. After completing the process of eligibility determination, the Eco-labeling scheme will demonstrate conformance with established international environmental declaration standards and the applicable procedures of ISO conformity assessment standards.
