Environmental Requirements

Core Environmental Performance Characteristics

Evidence of Overseas Current Application
Manufacturers of certified products shall fill in an application form for the GEC label and attach their current overseas Eco-labeling certificate and their most recent Eco-labeling body test report (not necessarily in English).

GECA reviewed Web listings for certification with Green Seal (US) and Environmental Choice Canada. GECA reviewed the Green Seal ‘Green Seal Environmental Standard for Hand Cleaners and Hand Soaps Used for Industrial Purposes’.

Additional Environmental Considerations
The overseas environmental labeling standard that the product was assessed under shall be provided in order for an assessment to be made as to the suitability of the standard on the basis of the following criteria:
a). Comprehensiveness from an LCA perspective.
b). Performance criteria that are in general conformance to the objectives of the Australian Ecolabel Program.

Where emission or material tests benchmarks are different between the overseas country and Australian national standard and the product appears not to meet Australian standards additional tests
shall be undertaken to establish conformance to Australian testing procedures and performance requirements.

GECA reviewed the Green Seal ‘Green Seal Environmental Standard for Hand Cleaners and Hand Soaps Used for Industrial Purposes’. This standard is similar to the GECA 17- General Purpose Cleaners. The standard is comprehensive from an LCA perspective and in line with the objectives of GECA.
