ISO 14021 - Type II Environmental Labeling
Type II environmental labels are mostly single-attribute labels focusing on a particular product.
According to the ISO 14021 standard, published by ISO in 1999, Type II environmental labels, also
known as the "self-declared environmental claims", can be declared by all stakeholders of a product
including manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers in the forms of symbols or graphics,
and used on manuals, product packages, advertising and promotions. The labels are required to
present validity and verifiability. Suppliers are required to make environmental claims about their
products according to the ISO 14021 standard and have the claims certified by a third party for the
products to be listed in the Directory. Type II environmental labels include Category II Eco-Products
championed by Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration, China Environmental Labeling
(Type II), and PC Green Label championed by the PC3R Promotion Association in Japan.
