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.

Abstract in Danish:
EU's miljømærke "blomsten" indeholder en række krav om kemiske stoffers sundhedsegenskaber. Faktisk er op til halvdelen af kravene i de teknisk/kemiske produktgrupper baseret på sundhedshensyn - og kravene er generelt strengere end den nuværende lovgivning foreskriver. Licenshavere kan i dag vanskeligt anvende denne kvalitet i markedsføringen. Forudsætningen er, at der er foretaget en systematisk vurdering af kemiske sundhedsegenskaber - og det tillader EU's miljømærkeforordning ikke i dag.
