PD CEN/TS 16822:2015CEN/TS 16822:2015 (E) 5 Introduction This Technical Speci

22、fication has been written to help companies within the textile supply chain to define self-declared environmental claims for textile products based on accurate and verifiable information and to harmonize the use of self-declared environmental claims and, therefore, to promote to the final consumer t

23、he purchase of textile products with less negative environmental impact and to increase environmental consciousness. It is essential that the self-declared environmental claims for textile products are reliable, based on a clear, transparent, accurate and documented methodology. The self-declared en

24、vironmental claims for textile products can be carried out by any entity from the textile chain, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, etc. In many sectors, including the textile sector, the offers of “ecological“ products are numerous and their number is increasing. The envir

25、onment is now the spot light on which many companies focus their strategy. However, this tendency leads to a proliferation of claims about textile products and these claims are sometimes difficult to understand correctly, such as “sustainable“, “responsible“, “organic“, “natural“, “biodegradable“, o

26、r may even be abusive, for example “greenwashing“. The purpose of this Technical Specification is to answer the following questions: What is the meaning of these terms and what can they really guarantee? How can we know exactly the environmental characteristics of the textile products concerned? Wha

27、t are the practical conditions for using these terms? The environmental claims for textile products may take the form of statements, symbols or graphics on product or package labels, or in product literature such as technical bulletins, company advertising, promotional material, etc. PD CEN/TS 16822

28、:2015CEN/TS 16822:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification establishes guidelines for the development and use of self-declared environmental claims for textiles (e.g. fibres, yarns, fabrics), textile products (e.g. clothing) and textile components of products (e.g. upholstery fabric in furnit

29、ure), which includes principles, methodology and rules for some terms commonly used in environmental claims. This Technical Specification does not provide any substitute for any legal requirements applicable to textile products, related to environmental information, environmental claims or labelling

PD CEN/TS 16822:2015CEN/TS 16822:2015 (E) 8 4 Guidance on the use of terms in relation to self-declared environmental claims 4.1 Objective This Technical Specification has been written to help companies within the textile supply chain to define self-declared environmental claims for textile prod

42、ucts based on accurate and verifiable information and to harmonize the use of those self-declared environmental claims and therefore, to promote to the final consumer the purchase of textile products with less negative environmental impact and to increase environmental consciousness. 4.2 Fundamental

43、 principles 4.2.1 General The self-declared environmental claims for textile products (including processes) shall be accurate (4.2.2), verifiable (4.2.3) and relevant (4.2.4), which means that they shall be based on measurable information, substantiated in data that can be checked and is relevant to

44、 that particular product. No environmental claim shall be based on a mere restatement of fact, e.g. natural cotton. 4.2.2 Principle of accurate information The self-declared environmental claims shall not be ambiguous, misleading or result, in any way, in a misinterpretation. It shall not, directly

45、or by implication, suggest an environmental improvement that does not exist, or enlarge the environmental aspect. The self-declared environmental claims shall be accompanied by an explanatory statement, which should clearly indicate the environmental benefit, especially if the claim alone is likely

46、to result in misunderstanding. The self-declared environmental claims shall be defined and presented in a manner that clearly indicates its range of application (complete product, part of the product, packaging, service, etc.). The self-declared environmental claims shall be updated, when necessary,

47、 to reflect any circumstances that can affect the accuracy of the claim. 4.2.3 Principle of verifiable methods The self-declared environmental claims shall be based on scientifically verifiable methods, which are accepted and information on them shall be provided upon request to all interested parti

48、es. NOTE Tracking of the production, known as product traceability, is an integral part of these verifiable methods. The claim shall be justified by practical, measurable, relevant, meaningful and verifiable elements (e.g. in terms of eco-design, of limitation of the use of polluting substances or e

49、missions of greenhouse gas, of management control of the natural resources, energy and waste, etc.), in order to demonstrate that negative environmental impacts related to the concerned activities have been significantly reduced or that positive environmental impacts exist. Justification may be provided by an independent body. The informative Annex C lists the most frequent verifiable methods related to the terms mentioned in Clause 5.
