to help everyone


User Benefits

A single, credible environmental performance rating to efficiently address lifecycle environmental issues in purchasing specifications across electronic product categories

For IndustryConsistent environmental performance criteria for design of

products and related services across multiple geographies. Opportunity for market recognition for design and service strategies that reduce products’ environmental impact.

For Purchasers

Original EPEAT System Development

• Driver – mismatch of multiple overlapping ‘green’ specifications from purchasers, multiple confusing environmental initiatives from vendors

• 2003-2006 multi-stakeholder process supported by US EPA

• Engagement of environmental advocates, manufacturers, recyclers, purchasers, technical experts, government

• Final PC/Display draft - 51 lifecycle environmental performance criteria and the EPEAT system

• Additional standards developed to meet EPEAT requirements


How are products rated in EPEAT?

• Products must meet all required criteria to qualify for EPEAT.

• Required criteria identify high environmental performance

• Products are rated Bronze, Silver or Gold based on how many optional criteria they meet,

Green (< 50%) Greener (50-75%) Greenest (> 75%)

Ratings are granted automatically by system software based on declaration

Verification of Claims in EPEAT

• All initial claims – new manufacturer, new country, new criterion – subject to intensive Desk Review

• Following a period of successful desk Review, ability to make claims independently through registry software

• Continuous unannounced Verification audits of select criteria, product types, products, manufacturers, etc.

• All “nonconformances” - failures to support a claim – are published on the website in outcomes reports available to purchasers, the general public

• Network of global registration and verification organizations – UL, DEKRA, Intertek, CESI, VdE


Central Registry at www.epeat.net

• Enables– Purchasers/IT managers to review product options in one place– Comparison by product, by specific criteria, by company ‘fleet’– Ability to review effect of setting purchasing spec at different levels, incl.

certain attributes – successful procurement– Global certification coverage with country-specific detail - a single

information source for multinational purchasers

• Provides– One visible performance standard for OEMs– Consistent rating mechanism for all products– “One stop shop” to promote/publicize to purchasers for all registered

products, all geographies

• Creates– Ability to compete for rankings and reap rewards for leadership because

comparison is visible and optionals provide for expansion


Country-specific Coverage

• Country-specific registration is unique to EPEAT among global electronics certifications

• Ensures support for all claims in specific countries of registry

– 44 criteria inherent in products must be met everywhere product is sold (regardless of registration)

– Allows geographically focused verification in those countries where products/criteria are declared in the registry

– Especially important for service criteria – e.g. product takeback and responsible recycling, extended warranty support, packaging takeback and recycling, etc.

• 43 countries covered - including India as of 2014
