The national offices for the Nordic Ecolabel are also responsible for the EU Ecolabel in the Nordic countries. The Nordic Ecolabelling organisation is also a member of Global Ecolabelling Network, GEN which is an association of Ecolabelling organizations world-wide.
The EU Ecolabel
The EU Ecolabel is the Nordic Ecolabel´s counterpart in the EU countries. It is the official EU environmental scheme and is also a type 1 Ecolabel. Manufacturers must use samples and documentation to prove that their products meet the criteria with regard to the environment, climate, health and performance.
These criteria have been set by national organisations within the EU's member countries, under the supervision of the European Commission.
