The EPEAT Program ensures the ongoing conformance of EPEAT registered products through a surveillance process known as Continuous Monitoring. Continuous Monitoring activities occur throughout the year and test the ability of Participating Manufacturers to prove conformance with EPEAT Criteria on an ongoing basis. All EPEAT registered products in all product categories and all Participating Manufacturers are subject to Continuous Monitoring.
Continuous Monitoring activities include investigations planned by EPEAT and implemented by GEC-approved Conformity Assurance Bodies (CABs) within discrete timeframes called Continuous Monitoring Rounds. For each Round, EPEAT specifies the products and EPEAT Criteria to be investigated, the specific timeframe for investigative activities, and the method of investigation that CABs must use.
Para mantener el nivel de transparencia en el que confían los compradores, la EPEAT publica un Informe de Resultados al final de cada Ronda para resumir las actividades realizadas e identificar los productos y Fabricantes Participantes que recibieron no conformidades, así como las acciones emprendidas para restaurar la exactitud del Registro de la EPEAT.
The Outcomes Report for Continuous Monitoring Round SV- 2024-03 is now available on the EPEAT Registry. This Round involved Level 0 investigations of products in the Servers category. Level 0 Investigations require CABs to review publicly available information to determine conformance with specific EPEAT Criteria.
