The EU Eco-label and Health

Abstract
The EU Eco-label includes a number of requirements regarding health aspects of chemical substances. In fact up till half of the requirements of the technical/chemical product groups are based on health considerations - and the requirements are in general more stringent than the present legislation. It is difficult for the licensee to apply this quality in their marketing however. The precondition is that a systematic assessment has been made. The present EU regulation does not allow for such assessments to-day.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
