DQS Hellas is a member of the German DQS Holding GmbH, the official certification body of Germany with the largest worldwide network. The mission of DQS Hellas within the context of sustainability was to increase the circulation of products that generate economic, social and environmental benefits throughout their life cycle, thereby improving the functioning of the internal market.
Urban Camel worked with DQS Hellas on project planning and regulatory monitoring. We co-designed a framework for the procedure to obtain an eco-label for the eco-design of energy-related products, such as white goods and electrical household appliances, according to the EU eco-design directives. The framework included details of the application for certification, the compliance, assessment and verification process for placing energy-related products on the market, and market surveillance. The accreditation and obtaining of the specific eco-label aims to promote the production, consumption and market circulation of sustainable products.
