To obtain "NF Environnement" or EU Eco-label certification, the product or service must conform to a set of ecological and fitness-for-use criteria specified in the relevant guidelines.
These criteria are developed through negotiations between representatives from industry, consumer and environmental protection associations, distributors and public authorities, French for the "NF Environnement" mark, and European for the EU Eco-label.
As with any voluntary certification scheme, the "NF Environnement" mark and the EU Eco-label are delivered by a separate and independent third-party body, for a specified period, following the completion of a number of inspections and audits. The certified products or services are monitored on a regular basis in order to check their continued conformity with all the requirements set out in the guidelines.
If there is no eco-label currently covering your particular product or service, you can ask AFNOR Certification to create one.
