The certification process for Eco-Labelling is time-consuming . Enquiry , application , document evaluation , factory audit , sample selection and testing , recommendation and approval process , surveillance , and renewal are all part of the process .”
SIRIM QAS International , Malaysia ’ s leading testing , inspection , and certification body , bestows the SIRIM Eco-Labelling certification .
SIRIM QAS is a member of the Global Ecolabelling Network ( GEN ), a non-profit organisation comprised of 33 eco-label organisations from around the world that aims to improve , promote , and develop eco-labelling of products and services .
The membership of SIRIM QAS in GEN lends credibility to the SIRIM Eco- Labelling Scheme . It puts it on par with other member countries ’ eco-labelling schemes .
The endorsement that a product has been independently evaluated is the most important aspect of the SIRIM Eco- Labelling scheme . This improves a brand ’ s image as well as the manufacturer ’ s reputation as an environmentally conscious company .
Furthermore , renowned manufacturers will improve production efficiency and reduce reject waste . Consumers do not need to conduct additional tests with the SIRIM Eco-Labelling mark because
the product already meets environmental standards .
Certified products provide assurance not only of environmental sustainability , but also of safety , quality , and dependability .
The certification process for Eco- Labelling is time-consuming . Enquiry , application , document evaluation , factory audit , sample selection and testing , recommendation and approval process , surveillance , and renewal are all part of the process .
Aside from approval , the certification process includes planned surveillance audits as well as market surveillance to ensure that companies adhere to the certification standards .
Following certification , the brands will be able to market their products using SIRIM ’ s Eco-Labelling mark . It is an effective method of communicating the environmental benefits of a product to consumers . It enables them to make more informed purchasing decisions based on environmental factors .
In terms of eco-friendliness , having the mark gives the brand a competitive
advantage over other similar ones . — @ green
