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.
Afin de maintenir le niveau de transparence auquel s'attendent les acheteurs, l'EPEAT publie un rapport sur les résultats à la fin de chaque cycle afin de résumer les activités menées et d'identifier les produits et les fabricants participants qui ont fait l'objet de non-conformités, ainsi que les mesures prises pour rétablir l'exactitude du registre de l'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.
