EPEAT & Green Electronics

EPEAT product registration and conformity assurance

Electronic products are often produced under conditions that are very harmful to the environment and can hardly or only with difficulty be recycled. Since sustainability is becoming increasingly important for retailers and buyers in the evaluation, the comparison and the selection of products, it is necessary to make sustainable options for action transparent.

Environmental and social sustainability becomes more and more important for consumers and institutional purchasers, when evaluating, comparing and selecting products. The EPEAT Registry (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) has become the definitive resource and comprehensive environmental rating system for greener electronics. It is based on a set of sustainability standards covering the following product categories:
  • computer & displays
  • imaging equipment
  • mobile phones
  • networking equipment
  • photovoltaic modules & inverters
  • servers
  • televisions
The environmental criteria cover the entire life cycle of electronic products, including specifications for product design, production, energy consumption and recycling, but also corporate responsibility and social aspects.
DEKRA is one of the first Conformity Assurance Bodies (CABs) approved for all standards and countries, with dedicated EPEAT-auditors in Europe, North America and Asia. Our 25+ years expertise in chemical regulatory compliance & product safety (REACH, RoHS, WEE), EU green public procurement, and our in-house labs and experts in chemical testing & energy testing complement our services. Through our services we ensure to make you “fit for EPEAT” and transparent and reliable in your product declarations and communications.
