National test plan for environmental labelling.

France carried out the plan in accordance with the 228Th item of the national environmental commitment legislation.


France's national environmental commitments legislation implements numerous new regulations on products sold in the country, including a voluntary environmental labeling scheme.

According to article 228Th of the legislation, the voluntary labelling scheme for environmental labelling will be tried from July 1, 2011 onwards until July 1, 2012 for a period of 1 years, after which the assessment will be carried out to decide whether or not it needs to be converted into a mandatory plan and implemented according to the product category.


Pilot projects are designed to assess environmental information provided on products.

Is the practice of reference feasible?

In addition to carbon dioxide equivalent, information on products also includes water consumption, natural resource consumption and impact on the natural environment.


The pilot scheme helps the government to assess some complex projects, such as the impact of imported products, technical feasibility (such as information needed for traceability of calculation indicators), economic costs and confidentiality of data.


To this end, the Ministry of ecology and sustainable development of France appealed to the industry to submit voluntary plans, which could be individual or group plans, and the selected programmes would become part of the national pilot scheme.

The pilot scheme will be implemented in July 1, 2011 for a period of at least 1 years.

The assessment will take place from the second half of 2012, and the results will be submitted to the French parliament for consideration.
