Why was EPEAT created?
• Complexity of the product set – purchasers’ struggle with definition of what constituted “preferable”, failed procurements due to the lack of uniform measures
• Supplier community’s struggle with excess complexity:
– Proliferation of purchasing specs, information requests
– Proliferation of state level takeback schemes
• Public Private Partnership – interest in voluntary protocols, avoiding the inflexibility of regulatory approach
• Desire for market drivers to set clear direction, rewards

How was (and is) EPEAT created
• Multi-stakeholder process
• Extensive engagement of environmental advocates,manufacturers, private and public purchasers, technical experts,recyclers throughout standards development
• Developed with attention to both environmental impacts andmarket mechanisms
• 2005 - consensus reached on the EPEAT system and PC-Display lifecycle environmental performance criteria
• Ongoing consensus development of standards
• Ongoing guidance of Advisory Council from all stakeholdergroups

What is the basis for product ratings?
EPEAT’s environmental
criteria cover the
complete product
lifecycle from
design to recycling.

Verification Approach
•Manufacturers: - Sign legal agreement to participate- Initially register under supervised ‘desk review’-Must have specific verification evidence for all criteria- Desk review triggers – any new criterion, new country, first Gold
•Products/criteria routinely verified:- Representative selection of criteria/products- Conformance decided by independent panel blind to company- Ability to bring products into conformance after verification- Transparency - results published on website

• Addition of global capacity with registration partners-
CESI, DEKRA, Intertek, ULE, VDE
• Online training for registration personnel
• Multiple types of Desk Review - for new criteria, new
country registrations, first Gold by country, etc.
• Increasing focus on developing more workable Product
ID system

How is EPEAT different from ENERGY STAR®?
ENERGY STAR covers energy efficiency.
EPEAT’s environmental criteria cover the complete product
lifecycle.
EPEAT-registered products meet anywhere
from
in addition to the latest Energy Star standard. 21 to 45 other rigorous criteria

NOTE: ENERGY STAR and EPEAT
• Products registered in EPEAT must meet the latest ENERGY STAR specification for their type
• Configuration changes can cause products to no longer comply with ENERGY STAR
• When changing basic configs or creating an image, consult with your supplier or directly with the manufacturer to ensure you do not void ENERGY STAR compliance
• Requesting/requiring provision of product ID numbers can help you ensure you are only choosing compliant products
