APPLICATION STEPS


1. Inquire
Talk with us about what you would like to have certified. Use our handy Scoping Form to help define your certification project. We recommend a video call to discuss your options. An optional Eligibility Check service is also available. Download our Application Guide.

4. Application
Your application must show at least 12 months' compliance with the Standards of the ecolabel sought. Submit your application and supporting information using the Application Form by email, or on-line at our Shop. Cloud links are available for large files.

7. Promotion
Your successful certification is listed on the Green Tick® Registry, promoted worldwide across all our global media, and to all our industry and government contacts. We are happy to partner with you in marketing campaigns.

2. Select Ecolabel
Select the best Green Tick® Ecolabel for your business and market. Check that you can meet the ecolabel's Standards. Once the scope of your application is confirmed, we will send you a detailed Certification Programme for you to commission.

5. Audit
The appointed auditor contacts you and conducts the audit. They send the Draft Audit Report to you and GTC management for review. If non-conformities are found, you will have a reasonable time to close them out. The Final Audit Report is sent to the Certification Board.

3. Eligibility Check
(Optional Gap Analysis)
An Eligibility Check can assist you in understanding how close you are to certification standard. It will supply recommended actions to close any gaps, saving time and money with your application.

6. Award
The Certification Board reviews the application and the Final Audit Report, and decides whether to award certification. If granted, a license agreement is issued to you for use of the Green Tick® ecolabel worldwide for three years. Certifications are renewable on updated assessment.
