Technical reports detailing the assessment and the results.
The certification reports are broken up into two key documents. The first is a summary document used as independent proof of
the environmental performance of the product, which may be copied and submitted with tenders, and for all other corporate commercial requirements.
This report is developed as a document
that the producer can present to the business community,
showing both good corporate citizenship, and a serious
commitment to gaining the benefits that flow from good environmental practices.
The second document is the full certification report, which provides details of all of our findings and technical data. Suggestions and recommendations, and any sensitive details, are presented in this separate report, as
is any technical data that was gathered during the assessment.
The right to use the recognized logo on the product or service.
The exhibition of the logo on the product gives a clear and unparalleled message,
at the point of sale and to the consumer, that this particular product has high environmental credentials and has been certified to independent environmental standards.
An Environmental Declaration. An environmental declaration, published by
GECA regarding your product, is of considerable value in tenders, customer relations, and corporate publications.
The right to use the logo in corporate and product exposure.
Certification gives you the right to place the logo on all company letter-heads and business cards relating to the
certified product; to exhibit the logo at the places of manufacture; and
through relevant distribution channels; and to use the logo on all promotional and marketing plans for the particular product or service. These
latter may include television, print media, pamphlets, promotional information, and all other forms of public exposure.
Product OR SERVICE Recognition on our
WEBSITE All
certified products and services receive a page on our website
explaining the grounds for the label, providing an overview of the assessment
of the product or service, and giving contact details
for the producer and sales' outlets.
Ongoing Product OR
SERVICE Recognition as a Good Environmental CHOICE
Various activities are regularly undertaken to enhance the recognition and accessibility of recognised products, including a quarterly certified products register,
mail outs to specific industry sectors, and broader public campaigns through avenues
such as community service announcements, public lectures, seminars, conference tables, speeches, and regular media exposure.
An audit of performance during the license period. We will perform bi-annual or 18 month audits of the product to ensure that standards are kept or improved,
and that product performance has been maintained. Clients wishing access to technical information beyond that
detailed in the verification report, may have such information delivered at cost.
Any Australian registered business
may make an application for certification and will receive prompt and detailed attention to their case. They can expect a call from the appointed project manager within 48hr of
us receiving an application, and a response to their application within three weeks.
All applications are considered commercial-in-confidence and are protected using Quality Assurance procedures.
