Greenhealth Approved Seal

Practice Greenhealth has reviewed manufacturer-submitted documentation and licensed the product to carry the Greenhealth Approved seal, indicating it meets the programme's healthcare-sector sustainability criteria for its product category — largely avoidance of chemicals of concern aligned with Healthier Hospitals goals.

• Independent laboratory testing — the seal rests on programme review of manufacturer attestations, not third-party lab verification.
• A full environmental footprint claim — carbon, water, circularity, and end-of-life are outside the criteria.
• Clinical, infection-control, or medical-device performance.
• 'Healthier Hospitals compliant' on its own — that is typically a self-declared checklist claim, not the licensed Greenhealth Approved seal.

• Has Healthcare Sector Approval →

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Criteria are category-specific (e.g. furnishings) — check which category criteria the product was approved against.

Distinguish the licensed Greenhealth Approved seal from loose 'Healthier Hospitals compliant' marketing language, which is often self-attested.

The seal signals healthcare-sector suitability on chemicals of concern; it is not equivalent to third-party certifications like GREENGUARD or Cradle to Cradle.
