Green Seal Certification Process

Setting the standard, raising the bar
Discover the steps to certifying your product or process. Once a standard has been established, Green Seal accepts applications for certification. Products are then evaluated for compliance with the applicable Green Seal standard. Test data is gathered for the environmental and performance requirements outlined in the standard. The manufacturing facility is then visited to evaluate quality control procedures. This ensures that the current product is representative of future production.
If the product meets the Green Seal standard, it will be awarded the Green Seal. The seal may be used on the product, on packaging, in advertising, promotional materials, catalogs, and in product descriptions.  
Once certified, products are subject to annual monitoring to ensure that the product offered for sale continues to meet the Green Seal standard. Any deviation is immediately brought to the manufacturer's attention and corrective action must be instituted within an appropriate time. Non-compliance may result in termination of the manufacturer's privilege to carry the Green Seal on its product.

 

The position of Parish Maintenance Supply:
"If the product does not carry "Green Seal Certification" who makes a determination that's it's really "Green" the person selling it, the manufacturer, who?

We feel that "Green Seal" is the "Gold Standard"
when it relates to Green Products.

Any legitimate organization that is TRULY committed to manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing "Green Cleaners" must invest the financial resources to "prove" their product is "Green".
 
Here's a case in point: A major "Retail - Commercial" cleaning products manufacturer recently produced a "Green" product line and created an internet site devoted to the promotion of the products and how "Eco Friendly". An entire internet site was developed to promote a "Green" marketing plan and how environmentally responsible they are.
After the "Green Smoke" dissipates and you decide to research cleaning products you are presented with a wholes host of products. Review the products and read the statements claiming
 
"The company is an active participate in the Consumer Specialty Product Association's (CSPA) Product Care Program, and the XXX Pro Line Daily Cleaners meet or exceed the criteria of EPA's EPP guidelines and GS-37 standards where applicable".
As you read the statement above, just ask yourself a question - without "Green Seal Certification" who do you believe?
