4 Foreword This standard is the certification criteria for Eco-label revised through deliberation of a committee to set up the certification criteria according to the procedure specified in the Environmental Technology and Environmental Industry Support Act. Accordingly, it is certification criteria for Eco-label made in the internationally standardized form without changing any technical matters of EL201.Fluorescent Lamps EL /9/ It should be noted that parts of this standard may in conflict with patent rights having technical characteristics, patent applications after laying-open of application, utility model rights or application for the utility model registration after laying-open of application. The Minister of Environment shall have no responsibility for confirmation of matters related to patent rights having technical characteristics, patent applications after laying-open of application, utility model rights or application for the utility model registration after layingopen of application. ii

However, even when the person violates the environment regulation standard, if the person submits the detailed violation, an improvement measure and a measure to prevent a repeat of the violation including the following items to the president of the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (hereinafter referred to as the president of Technology Institute ) and takes the measure within 1 month from the date of violation, the person shall be considered to comply with the criteria. A. List of environment regulation standard in the person s location B. System to implement the environment regulation standard (including an organization chart describing each person s role) C. Regulation for storing records and documents related to the environment regulation standard. 2. With respect to marks of information for consumers specified in the certification criteria by each subject, the following matters shall be complied with. A. Product-related information for consumers shall be marked on the product cover. However, if the president of Technology Institute recognizes that it is not possible or undesirable to mark it on the product cover, it can be marked on an appropriate part where consumers can perceive relevant information such as product package, a product guide or a user guide. B. Service-related information for consumers shall be marked inside and outside the building in the business site where service is operated. However, if the president of Technology Institute recognizes that it is not possible or undesirable to mark it inside and outside the building in the business site where service is operated, it can be marked on an appropriate part where consumers can perceive relevant information such as a contract, a delivery statement, a letter of warranty or promotion materials. 3.

12 4. The person shall not conduct unfair marks, labeling or advertising related to the environmental aspects of the product in accordance with the Article of the law. 5. 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. Testing/ inspecting laboratory recognized in the accrediting system for testing/ inspecting laboratories in accordance with the Article 23 of the Framework Act on National Standards (e.g. testing/ inspecting laboratory accredited by KOLAS) C. Testing/ inspecting laboratory designated and accredited by the president of central administrative agencies in accordance with relevant laws D. Foreign testing/ inspecting laboratory complying with the international standard, ISO/IEC E. Testing/ inspecting laboratory recognized by the president of Technology Institute in case that it is difficult to conduct a test in the laboratories specified from A to D. 6

13 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. 7
