EPEAT® provides Conformity Guidance Materials, available for download by CABs and Participating Manufacturers, as guidance to help navigate the verification requirements of EPEAT criteria. These materials help both groups understand EPEAT Criteria requirements, provide supplementary information, and where necessary, provide further details regarding demonstration of conformance with EPEAT Criteria.
Conformity Guidance Materials undergo updates periodically. To keep stakeholders informed of these updates, EPEAT maintains the Conformity Guidance Materials History spreadsheet, which contains updates and versions for each criterion for each product category. Both the Conformity Guidance Materials and their version history can be accessed by logging into your user account at https://epeat.net/resources.
