These criteria address manufacturer programs to reduce sustainability impacts resulting from chemical substances used in products, manufacturing processes and packaging. Criteria also require inventory and transparency about chemicals substances found in products, including PFAS, and the identification of safer chemicals.

Il processo di consultazione pubblica è gestito da NSF International, per conto di GEC. Tutti i commenti pubblici devono essere inviati attraverso la piattaforma dei commenti di NSF, che fornisce istruzioni dettagliate sulla presentazione dei commenti.
