The EPEAT conformance process requires applicants to demonstrate they meet certain requirements, depending on which criterion the applicant is trying to declare. RBA membership, and use of the VAP tools, can help you demonstrate you meet some of the verification requirements for optional CSR points available in EPEAT. Multiple RBA tools, such as the SAQ, VAP and the VAP Recognition Program, can be used to make the declaration process faster and easier.
The RBA has worked with EPEAT to complete this mapping on behalf of RBA members to save time in the declaration process. RBA Members no longer have to create this index themselves, simply provide EPEAT the following link when registering your product - please note the expiration date on the table which is updated every six months.
The EPEAT program provides independent verification of manufacturers’ claims and the EPEAT online Registry lists sustainable products from a broad range of manufacturers. National governments, including the United States, and thousands of private and public institutional purchasers around the world use EPEAT as part of their sustainable procurement decisions.
The Green Electronics Council (GEC) manages this program, including ensuring the integrity of the EPEAT system.
