GENICES

GENICES: the peer review process for GEN member organisations

This is the GEN Internationally Coordinated Ecolabelling System. It is a peer review process that benchmarks members as a basis for mutual trust and confidence, after which they may have input on standards/specifications to be included in the common internationally accepted database of criteria.

Based on the pillars of Trust, Proof and Understanding, GENICES shares information among qualified members to:

• Help new programmes start more quickly
• Facilitate certification of products that have been certified elsewhere
• Make international certification more cost-effective
• Facilitate exports of environmentally certified products
• Address and allay concerns about trade barriers

If you are a member of GEN, see examples of GENICES applications on the Members Only Page.
