An environmental claim about a product
How to review a specific environmental claim without extending the result to the entire product.
Case created solely to explain how the VERIOK System could be applied. It does not correspond to a client or a real file.
Situation
A company wants to support a specific environmental claim about one of its products.
What VERIOK could certify
VERIOK could certify that specific claim if it can be checked using sufficient information.
Scope
The review would be limited to the identified product, the exact claim and the conditions under which it may be used.
Evidence we would review
- Product specification and identification.
- Technical explanation of the claim.
- Available data, calculations or reports.
- Controls linking the information to the reviewed product.
What remains outside
The certification would not cover the product’s overall environmental performance or claims outside the review.
Conclusion under the VERIOK System
If the evidence were sufficient, VERIOK would record the claim reviewed, the documents used and its limits. A VERIOK Certification could help communicate that characteristic clearly to customers and buyers without becoming a general environmental certification.
