The 2nd public consultation on the Draft Criteria on Chemicals of Concern for the EPEAT ecolabel is now open to all interested stakeholders. 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.
The 2nd public consultation period opened March 29, 2024, and closes April 28, 2024, at 11:59 pm ET. For public commenters, the 2nd consultation is limited in scope to those revisions proposed by the Technical Committee since the initial public consultation.
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.
