据《欧盟官方公报》称,根据(EC)1980/2000号条例,欧盟决定为肥皂、洗发水和头发调理剂三类在环境保护中有突出贡献的产品授予欧盟“生态标签”。这些肥皂,洗发水和头发调理剂应包含任何洗涮过的物品,并准备拟于接触及表皮和头发体系,以期完全或主要清洗和改善发质,专门为消毒或抗细菌利用的产品不得包括在内。肥皂、洗发水和头发调理剂三类产品相关的评估和核查要求的有效期为三年。(编译:高良)
相关背景:
欧盟生态标签(Eco-label)
为使欧盟地区及欧洲经济区(EEA,包括:欧盟、挪威、列支敦登士和爱尔兰等国)的消费者能够识别欧盟官方认可的“绿色产品”,欧盟于1992年通过第EEC880/92号条例出台了“生态标签”体系。该条例于2000年通过欧盟1980/2000号条例又被进一步修改补充,允许贸易商及零售商可以为自己品牌的商品申请生态标签。欧盟委员会计划于2005年9月前,对欧盟“生态标签”体系进行评估并继续完善。 欧盟生态标签制度是一个自愿性制度。欧盟建立生态标签体系的初衷是希望把各类产品中在生态保护领域的佼佼者选出,予以肯定和鼓励,从而逐渐推动欧盟各类消费品的生产厂家进一步提高生态保护,使产品从设计、生产、销售到使用,直至最后处理的整个生命周期内都不会对生态环境带来危害。生态标签同时提示消费者,该产品符合欧盟规定的环保标准,是欧盟认可的并鼓励消费者购买的“绿色产品”。
目前,生态标签主要授予以下21类产品: 各种用途的去污剂;灯泡; 床垫; 个人电脑; 复印及画图用纸; 手提电脑; 洗碗机用洗涤剂; 手用餐具洗涤剂; 冰箱; 洗碗机; 土壤改良剂; 鞋类; 电视机; 纺织品; 棉纸; 硬地板; 室内用油漆涂料; 旅游住宿服务; 衣物清洁产品; 真空吸尘器; 洗衣机。 上述产品列表每年都不断补充。
生态标签是欧盟规定的一种自愿性产品标志,其使用及申请价格不菲,申请标准也较为严格。欧盟市场上的产品即使没有贴加生态标签,只要产品符合欧盟现行的健康、安全及环保标准一样可以进入欧盟市场。但如果企业获得生态标签,有助于提高产品档次并赢得更广泛的客户群,提高产品的竞争力。
