Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Manufacturers must submit full disclosure of all product ingredients and manufacturing processes. Documentation must demonstrate that the product meets the chemical safety and indoor air quality criteria relevant to asthma and allergy sensitivity. Third-party assessment of submitted documentation and product data is conducted by Global GreenTag's certification team in compliance with ISO 17065 and ISO 14024 standards.
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
Assessment is conducted by Global GreenTag's independent certification team in accordance with ISO 17065. Manufacturers submit full product ingredient disclosure and supporting technical documentation. Assessors review chemical formulations, manufacturing processes, and product data against the Asthma & Allergy Sensitive criteria. There is no on-site audit for most product categories; assessment is primarily documentation-based with potential follow-up queries. Certification is granted upon successful review and approval.
