General principles for green product assessment
1. Scope
This standard specifies the basic principles, assessment indicators and assessment methods for green product assessment.
This standard is applicable to the formulation and revision of specific assessment standards for green product.
2. Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
GB/T 7635.1 National central product classification and codes - Part 1: Transportable product
GB/T 19001 Quality management systems - Requirements
GB/T 24001 Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use
3. Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
green product
product that, in its entire life cycle, meets the requirements of environmental protection, is harmless or does little harm to the ecological environment and human health, consumes few resources and energy, and has high quality
3.2
reference value of assessment indicator
indicator reference value set for assessing green products
4. Basic principles
4.1 Product category determination principle
In accordance with GB/T 7635.1, products, mainly terminal consumer products, with high consumer concern, urgent need for consumption upgrading and great impact on ecological environment and human health are selected as assessment objects for green products based on the characteristics of green indicators of the products, and those with similar green characteristic indicators are considered as belonging to the same category.
4.2 Principles for selecting indicators
4.2.1 Following the principle of "life cycle concept"
Based on the life cycle stages such as raw material acquisition, manufacture, use and abandonment and by focusing mainly on the analysis of the resource and energy consumption, ecological environment impact and human health and safety impact factors of products in different stages, select indicators that can characterize the main green characteristics of such products and can be quantified, detected and verified to form a green product assessment indicator system.
4.2.2 Following the principle of "representativeness"
On the basis of comparative analysis of standards related to green at home and abroad, and industry and consumer surveys and analysis, select green performance indicators with high consumer concern and great impact on the environment and human health, so as to ensure that the selected indicators are representative.
NOTE ―for standard comparison analysis, such standard shall be mainly from countries to which the product trade is conducted.
4.2.3 Following the principle of "applicability"
On the basis of ensuring the availability of indicator testing methods and the testing capability of Chinese laboratories, the selection of indicators and advanced indicator requirements in relevant international or foreign standards shall be encouraged.
4.2.4 Following the principle of "compatibility"
On the basis of indicator correlation analysis, reasonably determine the indicator reference value, taking into account the green performance and quality performance of products.
4.2.5 Following the principle of "green, high-end and leading"
The proportion of leading products meeting the assessment requirements for green products to the comparable products of the same kind shall not exceed 5%.
NOTE ―the proportion here refers to the proportion of the number of product models that meet the requirements of green product assessment to that of total models in the domestic market on the premise that the products are of the same kind and comparable.
5. Assessment indicator
5.1 Indicator system frame
The assessment indicator system includes two parts, i.e., basic requirements and assessment indicator requirements. The basic requirements should include the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection laws and regulations, process technology, management system and related product standards, etc. that are to be met. The assessment indicators should include four types of first-class indicators, namely, resource attribute indicator, energy attribute indicator, environment attribute indicator and quality attribute indicator. Quantifiable, detectable and verifiable second-class indicators shall be set under the first-class indicators. The first-class indicators of different categories of products may be selected according to factors such as product characteristics, impact on environment and human health, and implementation of existing standards. See Annex A for the standard content framework of green product assessment.
5.2 Basic requirements
Green requirements that manufacturing enterprises shall meet shall include but are not limited to:
- The pollutant discharge status of the product manufacturing enterprise shall meet the relevant environmental protection laws and regulations and the requirements of national or local pollutant discharge standards and the manufacturing enterprises shall be free from major safety accidents or major environmental pollution events in the past three years;
- The total pollutant emission control of manufacturing enterprises shall meet the national and local total pollutant emission control indicator;
- The manufacturing enterprises shall establish and operate environmental management systems and quality management systems in accordance with GB/T 24001 and GB/T 19001 respectively for management;
- The product quality level meets the requirements of relevant product standards.
