What is Green-Seal and Why It Is Important to You??

Green Seal is a private organization that sets standards for evaluating environmentally preferable products. In addition, Green Seal provides a service to chemical manufacturers to certify that their products satisfy its standards.GS-37 was recently developed for Green Seal via an industry - agency stakeholder team. This standard has 15 criteria for certifying general purpose, restroom, and glass cleaning products. Three comments:

• The standard is "pass/fail". A product must meet all of the 15 requirements or
it will not be certified by Green Seal.

• The standard was accepted unanimously by the stakeholder panel. To reach
consensus, several potential criteria were considered but were eventually set
aside.

• The standard and its individual criteria may not be appropriate for janitorial
chemicals outside the three work areas mentioned.
