With respect to various standards cited in the certification criteria for each product, the latest version of standard when applying for the certification shall be applied unless otherwise specified. In addition, in case that the regulation criteria is strengthened more strictly than that certification criteria for each product due to revision of relevant laws or regulations, the strengthened criteria shall be tentatively applied. Also, in case that the criteria are abolished, the criteria before abolition shall be tentatively applied by when the relevant certification criteria are revised. 6. In case that it is judged that the application of quality-related criteria in accordance with the certification criteria for each product is not suitable, the president of Technology Institute can set and implement the quality criteria for relevant products. [Verification method in accordance with the certification criteria] 1. The test report in accordance with the specified test methods means a test report issued by an agency designated by the president of Technology Institute among the following items. However, if the person who applied for certification of Eco-label seeks to be verified with the test result implemented by a testing or inspecting laboratory not corresponding to one of the following items, the person shall get confirmation and verification in the presence of a professional designated by the president of Technology Institute. A. Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute in accordance with the Sub-clause 12, Clause 4, Article 5 of the law B.

14 2. In case that the president of Technology Institute requests test-related materials, the testing/ inspecting laboratory that issued a test report in accordance with the clause 1 shall follow the request as long as there is no specific reason. If the laboratory rejects the request without any reasonable cause, the laboratory may be restricted to conduct a requested test. 3. With respect to verification of submitted documents, whether it complies with the certification criteria shall be verified with the test reports, statement of raw materials supply/production, certificates related to the product, user guides or manuals or products that are submitted by the person who seeks for certification of Eco-label in order to verify that the product complies with relevant criteria. In case of service, it can include performance materials, documentary evidence and photos of the side. However, if it is difficult to verify it only with the submitted documents, tests corresponding to the clause 1 may be added. 4. In case that the person who has already receive the certification seeks for additional certification on models using the same materials, parts or components as the certified product, the existing verification result may be applied to relevant raw materials, parts or components. However, the test report in accordance with the clause 1 shall be that issued within 12 months from the date of applying certification. 5. In case that the person gets certification in accordance with the Sub-clause 2, Clause 3, Article 4, the president of Technology Institute shall randomly select a sample from models in the product line for verification. 6. In case that the person gets certification in accordance with the Sub-clause 3, Clause 3, Article 4, the president of Technology Institute shall randomly select a sample from models in the product line for verification. However, with respect to environment-related or qualityrelated criteria which may be influenced by the wholly or partly different environmental aspects and quality information among models, each model shall be verified. 8
