China Environmental Labeling Certification is divided into three types, namely Type I, Type II, and Type III. Next, I will introduce these three types of China Environmental Labeling Certification to you!

1. Type I China Environmental Label Certification

1. Introduction to Type I China Environmental Label Certification

Type I China Environmental Label is a certification mark. As an official mark, it indicates that the products approved to use this mark not only meet the quality standards, but also comply with environmental protection requirements during production, use and disposal. Compared with similar products, they have environmental advantages such as low toxicity, less harm, and resource conservation. It is precisely because of this certification mark that it is easy for consumers to understand which products are beneficial to the environment and harmless to their own health, making it easier for consumers to make green purchases. Through consumer choice and market competition, enterprises can be guided to consciously adjust their industrial structure, adopt cleaner production processes, and produce products that are beneficial to the environment, ultimately achieving the goal of coordinated development of environmental protection and economy.

2. Application process

Submit application → Sign contract → On-site inspection → Sample inspection (if necessary) → Technical review → Certificate issuance

II. II Type II China Environmental Labeling Certification

1. Introduction to Type II China Environmental Labeling Certification

ISO 14021 "Environmental Management Environmental Labeling and Declaration Self-Environmental Declaration (Type II Environmental Labeling)" standard stipulates There are 9 basic principles and 18 specific principles that should be followed when making self-declarations. In other words, the specific principles stipulated in ISO 14021 can be used to judge whether the declarant's environmental statement meets the requirements of the standard. In this sense, ISO 14021 " Environmental Management Environmental Labeling and Declaration Self-Environmental Declaration (Type II Environmental Labeling)" standard can be used as a certification standard.

The standard also recognizes the possibility of verifying Type I environmental labeling claims through independent third-party organizations and provides opportunities to develop different types of environmental claims. Therefore, when the credibility of Chinese enterprises is generally not high and consumers do not trust self-environmental declarations, using an independent third party to certify the declarer's self-environmental declarations can not only regulate the market, but also promote The healthy development of type II environmental signs.

2. Certification scope

All products and services except Type I environmental label certification types

3. Implementation significance

According to ISO’s definition of environmental labels: Environmental labels and statements are instructions, symbols and scopes that appear on product or packaging labels, or in product literature, technical bulletins, advertisements or publications, etc. Currently, various green labels appearing on the market belong to the category of environmental labels 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 statements. (Type III); The characteristic of type I environmental labeling is the participation of a third party, such as our common ten-ring logo, green food, organic food, etc. The subject of type II environmental labeling should be the enterprise, and it is common for a certain enterprise to declare How to protect the environment of your own products? Type III environmental labeling is an environmental statement based on full life cycle assessment. It declares the impact of products on the global environment. It should be said that our country currently does not have the basic conditions for comprehensively developing Type III environmental labels, so there are only two types of green labels currently seen in the market, one is issued by a third party, and the other is declared by the company itself. There is no so-called standard compliance mark. This is because the ISO 14020 series of standards are not product standards. If such a mark is posted on a product, consumers cannot tell what requirements the product meets and whether it is a green product.

Take the ISO 14024 standard as an example. The ISO14024 standard was promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization in April 1999. It was proposed on the basis of summarizing the experience of environmental labeling programs in various countries. It is an important indicator of the success of environmental labeling programs in various countries. A summary of experience, it stipulates the principles and procedures that should be followed in the implementation of Type I environmental labels, and should be followed by environmental label implementation agencies.

3. Type III China Environmental Labeling Certification

1. Introduction to Type III China Environmental Labeling Certification

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is also called Type III Environmental Statement , is an internationally recognized publication report based on ISO14025 "Environmental Labeling and Declaration - Type III Environmental Declaration - Principles and Procedures". It is provided by suppliers (through third-party testing, third-party verification and information announcement). The indicators of its green information announcement are better than market access standards, highlighting the environmentally friendly green features of corporate products and forming core competitiveness in the market. It can help enterprises cross the green threshold of the market, establish green brands, and improve market competitiveness.

Through full life cycle optimization measures such as raw material procurement, design and production, rational use of resources, waste reduction and recycling, we develop and produce environmentally friendly products, reduce product costs, and improve product quality and technology leadership. status. It reflects the company's long-term commitment to improving environmental quality, is in line with the country's sustainable development strategy, and is conducive to the healthy development of the company.

2. Three major advantages

1. Environmental data is better than access

At present, the safety and quality certification of many domestic products are mainly based on market Whether the access standards or other standards are met is the main basis for issuing certificates. The Type III Environmental Labeling (EPD) green statement uses this as a precondition and uses high-quality environmental data that is better than market access standards as the basic conditions and Based on this, consumers and government procurement can choose the best among the high-quality environmental data of products, and the manufacturing companies of products can have high quality and low prices, and understand what they sell and what they buy. Therefore, products that have obtained the Type III Environmental Labeling (EPD) green statement are the best green brands to be informed about green products and are the best choice for products to obtain the world's green card.

2. Extra points for international conformity

At present, the United States, the European Union, and government procurement give extra points for Type III environmental labeling (EPD) green statements, and there are currently trials in the domestic bidding market. . Therefore, the Type III Environmental Labeling (EPD) green statement is an advantage for enterprises to obtain extra points in domestic and foreign government procurement bid evaluations, which greatly improves the core competitiveness of enterprises.

3. Instant selling points of green grippers

The rapid changes in new inventions, new designs, new processes, new materials, new technologies, etc. of products are significant features of the innovation era, which can transform the product’s Innovating and improving real-time market information is an effective measure for enterprises and merchants to win the market. It is also a prominent feature of the Type III Environmental Labeling (EPD). Because it is a long process for a product to develop to form an industry standard and then reach a national standard, it has obtained Type III environmental labeling. The environmental label (EPD) green statement is a powerful starting point for implementing green manufacturing and an instant selling point for product market competition. It fully embodies the characteristics of the era of mass entrepreneurship and innovation.
