EPEAT
EPEAT certifies electronic products based on sustainability impacts across their life cycle including requirements for energy efficiency and end-of-life management. An EPEAT registered product can also meet optional more ambitious criteria including reduction of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs). Products meeting 50% - 74% optional criteria are 'Silver' and those meeting 75% or more are 'Gold'.
Certification Level
TCO Certified
TCO Certified IT and technology products are certified based on lower environmental and climate impact, safer chemicals and circular design which reduces e-waste. Criteria for social responsibility are also included to reduce the risk of human rights violations, child labour, and health and safety issues for workers in the supply chain. To ensure that all criteria are being met, independent verification organisations conduct the product testing and supply chain assessments against these criteria.
