I. Certification of Category I Chinese Environmental Labels
Brief introduction of 1 type and I type Chinese environmental label certification
Type I China Environmental Mark is a certification mark. As an official mark, it shows that the products approved to use the mark are not only qualified in quality, but also meet the environmental protection requirements in the process of production, use, treatment and disposal. Compared with similar products, it has the advantages of low toxicity, less harm and resource saving. It is precisely because of this certification mark that consumers can easily understand which products are beneficial to the environment and which products are harmless to their own health, which is convenient for consumers to make green purchases. Through the choice of consumers and market competition, enterprises will be guided to consciously adjust the industrial structure, adopt cleaner production technology and produce products that are beneficial to the environment, and finally achieve the goal of coordinated development of environmental protection and economy.
2. Application process
Submit application → sign contract → on-site inspection → sampling inspection (if necessary) → technical review → certificate of conformity.
Two. The second category of China's environmental label certification
Brief Introduction of Type 1 and Type II China Environmental Label Certification
И o14021Environmental Management Environmental Logo and Statement of Self-declaration (Class II Environmental Logo) stipulates 90 basic principles and180 concrete principles for self-declaration. In other words, whether the applicant's environmental declaration meets the requirements of the standard can be judged according to the specific principles stipulated in ISO 1402 1. In this sense, ISO 1402 1 "Environmental Management Environmental Labels and Declarations Self-Environmental Declaration (Type II Environmental Labels)" can be used as a certification standard.
The standard also recognizes the possibility of verifying Class I environmental statements by independent third-party organizations, and provides opportunities for formulating different types of environmental statements. Therefore, in the case that the credibility of enterprises in China is generally low and consumers don't trust the self-environmental declaration, the certification of the self-environmental declaration by an independent third party can not only standardize the market, but also promote the healthy development of the second-class environmental label.
2. Scope of certification
All products and services except Class I environmental label certification category.
3. The significance of implementation
According to the ISO definition of environmental labels, environmental labels and statements are descriptions, symbols and ranges that appear on product or packaging labels, or in product literature, technical bulletins, advertisements or publications. At present, all kinds of green signs on the market belong to the category of environmental signs and statements. According to ISO's classification of different environmental labels, environmental labels should be divided into environmental labels (type I), self-environmental declarations (type II) and environmental product declarations (type III). Class I environmental signs are characterized by the participation of third parties, such as our common ten ring signs, green food, organic food and so on. The main body of the second-class environmental label should be enterprises, and it is very common for enterprises to declare how their products are environmentally friendly. Class III environmental label is an environmental statement based on life cycle assessment, which states the impact of products on the global environment. It should be said that at present, China does not have the basic conditions for comprehensively developing Class III environmental signs, so there are only two kinds of green signs on the market at present, one is issued by a third party, and the other is declared by the enterprise itself. There is no so-called standard conformity mark, because ISO 14020 series standards are not product standards, and it is impossible for consumers to tell whether a product is green or not.
Take ISO 14024 as an example. ISO 14024 standard was promulgated by the international organization for standardization in April 1999. It is put forward on the basis of summarizing the experience of environmental labeling programs in various countries, and summarizes the successful experience of environmental labeling programs in various countries. It stipulates the principles and procedures that the implementing agencies of environmental labels should follow when implementing the first type of environmental labels.
Three. The third category of China's environmental label certification
Brief introduction of 1 type and type III Chinese environmental label certification
Environmental Product Statement (EPD), also known as Type III Environmental Statement, is an internationally recognized release report based on ISO 14025 Environmental Labeling and Statement-Type III Environmental Statement-principles and procedures. Provided by suppliers (through third-party inspection, third-party verification and information announcement), the indicators of green information announcement are superior to market access standards, highlighting the green characteristics of enterprise products and forming the core competitiveness of the market. It can help enterprises to cross the green threshold of the market, establish green brands and improve market competitiveness.
Through the whole life cycle optimization measures such as raw material procurement, design and production, rational utilization of resources, waste reduction and recycling, we will develop and produce environment-friendly products, reduce product costs and improve the leading position of products in quality and technology. It reflects the long-term commitment of enterprises to improve environmental quality, conforms to the national sustainable development strategy and is conducive to the benign development of enterprises.
2. Three advantages
1, environment data is better than access.
At present, the certification of the safety and quality of many domestic products is mainly based on whether the market access standards or other standards meet the standards, and the green declaration of Class III environmental label (EPD) is based on this as a precondition, and the high-quality environmental data superior to the market access standards is the basic condition and basis for the green declaration. Therefore, consumers and government procurement can choose from the high-quality environmental data of products, and the manufacturing enterprises of products can also achieve high quality and low price, and they can understand what they sell and buy. Therefore, the products with Class III environmental label (EPD) green statement are the green brands selected by experts, and they are the best choice for products to obtain the world green card.
2. International integration plus points
At present, the United States, the European Union, and the government all give extra points to the green statement of Class III environmental label (EPD) and try it out in the domestic bidding market. Therefore, the green declaration of Class III environmental label (EPD) is a favorable condition for enterprises to get extra points in the bid evaluation of government procurement at home and abroad, which greatly improves the core competitiveness of enterprises.
3, novice instant selling point
New inventions, new designs, new processes, new materials and new technologies of products are changing with each passing day, which is a remarkable feature of the innovation era. Real-time understanding of the market is an effective measure for enterprises to win the market, and it is also a prominent feature of Class III Environmental Label (EPD). Because it is a long process for a product to reach the national standard from development to industry standard, obtaining the green statement of Class III environmental label (EPD) is a powerful means to grasp the market competition of green manufacturing products.
