ISO 14021 Environmental Labeling and Declarations Testing
The ISO 14021 standard provides a framework for the development, assessment, and use of environmental labels and declarations (EpD) as tools to communicate environmentally significant information about products. This service ensures that your product labeling and environmental claims are accurate, transparent, and compliant with international standards.
In government and trade facilitation sectors, compliance with ISO 14021 is crucial for maintaining market access and ensuring that the products meet regulatory requirements. Environmental labeling helps consumers make informed decisions about purchasing goods based on their environmental impact. This service covers a range of activities from product sampling to final certification.
The testing process involves several key steps: initial consultation, sample preparation, laboratory analysis, review by an accredited body, and finally, the issuance of a certificate confirming compliance with ISO 14021 standards. During this process, we ensure that all data is accurate and up-to-date, aligning with the latest regulatory requirements.
Accurate labeling not only enhances consumer trust but also supports sustainable practices within your organization. By adhering to these rigorous testing protocols, you demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility, which can lead to increased market share and customer loyalty.
