Electronics Product Sustainability Registry

What is this programme?

EPEAT is owned by the Global Electronics Council (GEC). The programme carries ISO 14024 (Type I ecolabel) recognition and is audited by ANAB. Its full expanded name could not be confirmed in the primary source and is not stated here.

Who is it for?

Electronics product manufacturers seeking to register products under GEC's EPEAT programme.

Who issues the certificate?

GEC administers the registry itself; the programme's conformity to the ISO 14024 Type I ecolabel framework is audited by ANAB. Whether individual manufacturer submissions are verified by GEC directly or by separate accredited bodies is not established in the primary source.

What to verify before you accept it

Check GEC's own registry, whether the product falls within a covered category, and the scope of ANAB's audit — separately.

What triggers an assessment?

• A buyer or a public procurement process asks for EPEAT registration by name.
• A registration carrying ISO 14024 Type I ecolabel recognition is targeted for a product.

What does it not replace?

• It is not the same model as GOTS or GLOBALG.A.P., where ISO/IEC 17065-accredited independent bodies certify each applicant; EPEAT's own verification mechanism works differently.
• It is not a management system certificate like ISO 14001; it is a product-level ecolabel/registry.
