Recognising alternative product standards from Product Certification Schemes
Recognising alternative product standards from Product Certification Schemes
The Criteria for Evaluating Product Certification Schemes assesses product certification schemes and standards. Within this document, the products available for assessment are limited to flooring, furniture, and assemblies (Part II), paints, adhesives, sealants and carpets (Part III), and cleaning products (Part IV).
The GBCA has developed an Addendum to address the assessment of other product standards not already included in the scope above. The addendum and accompanying scorecard is available below:
- Addendum to the Criteria for Evaluating Product Certification Schemes: Other product standards
- Scorecard
In order to use this addendum, the product certification schemes must first complete the Part 1 – Scheme Criteria assessment as outlined within the Criteria for Evaluating Product Certification Schemes.
