WaterSense, Safer Choice, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient, Cradle to Cradle Material Health, and The Climate Label support different claim types.
WaterSense: water-efficiency evidence
WaterSense is an EPA program for specific water-using product categories. Sellers should check the product category, model, specification, flow or flush data, and whether the product wording is limited to water-efficiency performance.
Safer Choice: ingredient-screening evidence
Safer Choice focuses on safer chemical ingredient selection. Sellers should check the complete formula, ingredient function, fragrance or preservative requirements, label version, and product name.
ENERGY STAR Most Efficient: advanced energy-efficiency evidence
ENERGY STAR Most Efficient is an advanced recognition within the ENERGY STAR program. Sellers should verify the year, product category, model, configuration, and energy data.
Cradle to Cradle Material Health: material-health evidence
Cradle to Cradle Material Health focuses on the chemical and health attributes of product materials. Sellers should check the certificate type, level, version, product scope, and whether the wording stays within the material-health dimension.
The Climate Label: climate-claim evidence
The Change Climate Project has moved the former Climate Neutral Certified direction toward The Climate Label. Sellers should check the current program name, covered entity, emissions boundary, measurement materials, reduction actions, and claim wording.
