Has Chemical Hazard Assessment Certification

Certification

The product's intentionally added chemicals were systematically assessed against a published hazard or ingredient-safety benchmark by an independent programme, with chemicals of highest concern excluded per that programme's criteria. This proves an assessment was performed and passed — it is not a claim that the product is free of hazards.

This entry is in review — facts are authored but not yet verified against current source documentation.

Medium greenwash risk

Meaningful only with supporting detail — check scope and dates.

Both programmes publish searchable product listings; the registry entry outranks marketing copy or packaging logos.

A manufacturer's own statement that chemicals 'were assessed' does not meet this family's bar — assessment must be to a named third-party programme's benchmark.

What backs it up

  • GreenScreen Certified →

    Must be at least: Third-party verified

    Check it states: Certificate Level, Certificate Number, Standard Version, Valid Until, Product Scope

    Record the certification level and the product-category standard version — requirements differ across both.

    Hazard assessment is not exposure or risk assessment.

  • EPA Safer Choice →

    Must be at least: Third-party verified

    Check it states: Product Scope, Partner Company, Listing Status

    Verify the product on EPA's current Safer Choice list; the listing is the evidence.

    Safer-for-functional-class is a comparative judgement, not an absence-of-hazard claim.
