Purpose of the Inspection Standard<\/h3>\r\n <p>This inspection standard serves the objective, independent, and comprehensible verification of environmental and sustainability claims (\"Green Claims\") within the meaning of EU Directive (EU) 2024\/825 (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition \u2013 EmpCo).<\/p>\r\n <p>The goal is to provide a concrete and verifiable implementation of abstract legal requirements, thereby creating transparency, comparability, and legal certainty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>2. Scope of Application<\/h3>\r\n <p>The ZERKOM\u00ae EmpCo Inspection Standard applies to:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Product-related environmental and sustainability claims,<\/li>\r\n <li>Company-related sustainability claims,<\/li>\r\n <li>Terms, labels, seals, and symbols used,<\/li>\r\n <li>Advertising, sales, and communication materials (B2C and indirectly B2B).<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>3. Legal Basis<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection standard is based specifically on:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Directive (EU) 2024\/825 (EmpCo),<\/li>\r\n <li>Directive 2005\/29\/EC (Unfair Commercial Practices \u2013 UCPD),<\/li>\r\n <li>Relevant EU regulations, particularly in the areas of circular economy and packaging law,<\/li>\r\n <li>National implementing laws (e.g., Unfair Competition Act).<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>4. Inspection Methodology<\/h3>\r\n <p>ZERKOM\u00ae verifies environmental and sustainability claims based on the following four pillars:<\/p>\r\n \r\n <h4>4.1 Concreteness<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is the claim formulated clearly, specifically, and unambiguously?<\/li>\r\n <li>Are generic terms such as \"environmentally friendly,\" \"sustainable,\" or \"green\" avoided or sufficiently specified?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.2 Verifiability<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is there reliable, verifiable, and comprehensible evidence?<\/li>\r\n <li>Is this documented, reproducible, and up to date?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.3 Relevance and Completeness<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Does the claim refer to the essential environmental or sustainability aspect?<\/li>\r\n <li>Are relevant limitations, conditions, or requirements presented transparently?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.4 Independence<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is the verification conducted independently of the economic interests of the audited company?<\/li>\r\n <li>Is there a clear separation between standard ownership, trademark rights, and the verification decision?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>5. Inspection Process<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection process takes place in the following steps:<\/p>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li>Application by the audit participant<\/li>\r\n <li>Document and data verification<\/li>\r\n <li>Plausibility and consistency check<\/li>\r\n <li>Evaluation of results<\/li>\r\n <li>Certification decision<\/li>\r\n <li>Entry into the ZERKOM\u00ae register<\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n\r\n <h3>6. Withdrawal and Sanctions<\/h3>\r\n <p>In the event of a loss of requirements, misleading use, or lack of updating, the following measures may be taken:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Withdrawal of certification,<\/li>\r\n <li>Deletion from the ZERKOM\u00ae register,<\/li>\r\n <li>Prohibition of further use of seals or certificate references.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>7. Transparency<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection criteria, the verification process, and the certificate register are publicly accessible to ensure comprehensible tracking by authorities, the market, and consumers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>ZERKOM\u00ae \u2013 Translating regulation into verifiable reality<\/h3>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"zk-legal-note\">\r\n Legal notice: The ZERKOM\u00ae EmpCo Inspection Standard represents a private-law inspection and certification procedure and does not replace an official authority decision.

Purpose of the Inspection Standard<\/h3>\r\n <p>This inspection standard serves the objective, independent, and comprehensible verification of environmental and sustainability claims (\"Green Claims\") within the meaning of EU Directive (EU) 2024\/825 (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition \u2013 EmpCo).<\/p>\r\n <p>The goal is to provide a concrete and verifiable implementation of abstract legal requirements, thereby creating transparency, comparability, and legal certainty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>2. Scope of Application<\/h3>\r\n <p>The ZERKOM\u00ae EmpCo Inspection Standard applies to:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Product-related environmental and sustainability claims,<\/li>\r\n <li>Company-related sustainability claims,<\/li>\r\n <li>Terms, labels, seals, and symbols used,<\/li>\r\n <li>Advertising, sales, and communication materials (B2C and indirectly B2B).<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>3. Legal Basis<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection standard is based specifically on:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Directive (EU) 2024\/825 (EmpCo),<\/li>\r\n <li>Directive 2005\/29\/EC (Unfair Commercial Practices \u2013 UCPD),<\/li>\r\n <li>Relevant EU regulations, particularly in the areas of circular economy and packaging law,<\/li>\r\n <li>National implementing laws (e.g., Unfair Competition Act).<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>4. Inspection Methodology<\/h3>\r\n <p>ZERKOM\u00ae verifies environmental and sustainability claims based on the following four pillars:<\/p>\r\n \r\n <h4>4.1 Concreteness<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is the claim formulated clearly, specifically, and unambiguously?<\/li>\r\n <li>Are generic terms such as \"environmentally friendly,\" \"sustainable,\" or \"green\" avoided or sufficiently specified?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.2 Verifiability<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is there reliable, verifiable, and comprehensible evidence?<\/li>\r\n <li>Is this documented, reproducible, and up to date?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.3 Relevance and Completeness<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Does the claim refer to the essential environmental or sustainability aspect?<\/li>\r\n <li>Are relevant limitations, conditions, or requirements presented transparently?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h4>4.4 Independence<\/h4>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Is the verification conducted independently of the economic interests of the audited company?<\/li>\r\n <li>Is there a clear separation between standard ownership, trademark rights, and the verification decision?<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>5. Inspection Process<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection process takes place in the following steps:<\/p>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li>Application by the audit participant<\/li>\r\n <li>Document and data verification<\/li>\r\n <li>Plausibility and consistency check<\/li>\r\n <li>Evaluation of results<\/li>\r\n <li>Certification decision<\/li>\r\n <li>Entry into the ZERKOM\u00ae register<\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n\r\n <h3>6. Withdrawal and Sanctions<\/h3>\r\n <p>In the event of a loss of requirements, misleading use, or lack of updating, the following measures may be taken:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li>Withdrawal of certification,<\/li>\r\n <li>Deletion from the ZERKOM\u00ae register,<\/li>\r\n <li>Prohibition of further use of seals or certificate references.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h3>7. Transparency<\/h3>\r\n <p>The inspection criteria, the verification process, and the certificate register are publicly accessible to ensure comprehensible tracking by authorities, the market, and consumers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>ZERKOM\u00ae \u2013 Translating regulation into verifiable reality<\/h3>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"zk-legal-note\">\r\n Legal notice: The ZERKOM\u00ae EmpCo Inspection Standard represents a private-law inspection and certification procedure and does not replace an official authority decision.
