§ 6 Principles for criteria development 标准制定原则
6.1 General principles 一般原则
When drawing up and adopting Nordic ecolabelling criteria, the first priority is to take into consideration the environmental impact of products available on the Nordic market.
在起草和采用北欧生态标签标准时，首要任务是考虑北欧市场上现有产品对环境的影响。
When choosing new product groups for the Nordic Ecolabel, the focus should be on potential environmental benefits, and on consumers’ and purchasers´ need for guidance with regard to environmentally sound products. The value of ecolabelling a specific product group is assessed in relation to, among other things, current market research, technical developments and other relevant environmental information systems.
在为北欧生态标签选择新产品组时，重点应放在潜在的环境利益上，以及消费者和购买者对环保产品的指导需求。生态标签对特定产品类别的价值是根据当前市场研究，技术发展和其他相关环境信息系统进行评估的。
The Nordic Ecolabelling Association is responsible for setting environmental and market-related sub-targets for each product group.
北欧生态标签协会负责为每个产品组设定与环境和市场相关的子目标。
The Nordic Ecolabelling Board approves the criteria for the ecolabelling of products (goods and services). Criteria documents are drawn up describing the specific requirements for each product area.
北欧生态标签委员会批准产品（商品和服务）生态标签的标准。制定标准文件，描述每个产品领域的特定要求。
6.2 Types of requirements 类型要求
The environmental impact through the product´s life-cycle is analysed and forms the basis for defining a limited number of requirements for the most important environmental issues (“hotspots”). Key factors in this work include the choice of raw materials, use of hazardous chemicals, use of energy and resources, emissions to all kind of recipients, health aspects, noise and waste treatment associated with production, transport and final disposal. The product’s lifespan and whether it can be repaired are also important, as is the extent to which it can be reused and recycled. Environmental principles, such as the precautionary and substitution principles are also included in the development of criteria.
对产品生命周期中的环境影响进行了分析，并为定义针对最重要的环境问题（“热点”）的有限数量的需求奠定了基础。这项工作的关键因素包括原材料的选择，危险化学品的使用，能源和资源的使用，对各种接收者的排放，健康方面，与生产，运输和最终处置有关的噪声和废物处理。产品的使用寿命以及是否可以维修也很重要，可以重复使用和回收的程度也很重要。在制定标准时还包括环境原则，例如预防原则和替代原则。
The environmental priorities are based upon the Nordic Ecolabel’s RPS analysis tool (relevance, potential, steerability).
环境优先级基于Nordic Ecolabel的RPS分析工具（相关性，潜力，可操纵性）。
Products featuring the Nordic Ecolabel should also be characterised by good quality and functionality. As a result, the ecolabelling criteria usually include requirements regarding these factors.
具有北欧生态标签的产品还应具有良好的质量和功能。结果，生态标签标准通常包括有关这些因素的要求。
In addition to environmental criteria, sustainability criteria are gradually being added to the Nordic Ecolabel criteria, when criteria for relevant product groups are revised or new ones developed.
除环境标准外，在修订相关产品组的标准或开发新的可持续性标准时，将可持续性标准逐步添加到北欧生态标签标准中。

根据使用领域定义产品组。对该组中的产品进行比较评估，并构成确定标准的基础。
6.4 Level of requirements 要求等级
The level of environmental requirements is high and will when revised become even higher as new products on the market and technical advancements are taken into account. The stringency of the requirements is related to the Nordic countries’ official environmental regulations.
对环境的要求很高，考虑到市场上的新产品和技术进步，对环境的要求会更高。要求的严格性与北欧国家的官方环境法规有关。
The purpose of the criteria is to identify the most environmentally sound products on the Nordic market. The target is that a maximum of one third of the products available in the Nordic Region meet the criteria at the point in time when the criteria are adopted.
该标准的目的是确定北欧市场上最环保的产品。目标是在采用标准时，北欧地区最多有三分之一的产品符合标准。
6.5 Validity period 有效期
The criteria are valid for a maximum of five years. The requirements are evaluated at least every third year. Based on this evaluation, the validity period is extended or the criteria revised.
该标准的有效期最长为五年。至少每三年评估一次需求。基于此评估，可以延长有效期或修改标准。
In exceptional cases (e.g. due to new knowledge about the impact on health or the environment), the Nordic Ecolabelling Board can decide to repeal or significantly change currently valid criteria.
在特殊情况下（例如，由于对健康或环境的影响有了新的认识），北欧生态标签委员会可以决定废除或显着改变当前有效的标准。
6.6 Openness 开放性
As a rule, the criteria-development work is done at Nordic level by the national ecolabelling organisations. External experts can be used as required.
通常，标准制定工作是由国家生态标签组织在北欧进行的。可以根据需要使用外部专家。
Stakeholders from affected industries, official agencies and other relevant parties must be provided with opportunities to participate in the criteria-development process.
必须为受影响行业，官方机构和其他相关方的利益相关者提供参与标准制定过程的机会。
All proposals for criteria remain open for consultation for 60 days, so that all stakeholders are able to submit written comments.
所有有关标准的提案将开放60天以供磋商，以便所有利益相关者都可以提交书面意见。
Information is publicly available about the criteria adopted, proposals submitted and responses received, as well as the status of the ongoing process.

§ 9 Relationship between the Nordic Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel
北欧生态标签与欧盟生态标签之间的关系
Like the Nordic Ecolabel, the EU Ecolabel is an official ecolabel recognised in the Nordic countries. According to the EU regulations for ecolabelling (European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) No 66/2010), harmonisation should be sought between the EU Ecolabel and national ecolabelling schemes.
与北欧生态标签一样，欧盟生态标签也是北欧国家认可的官方生态标签。根据欧盟生态标签法规（欧洲议会和理事会法规（EU）第66/2010号），应在欧盟生态标签计划与国家生态标签计划之间寻求统一。
The Nordic Ecolabel will work with the EU Ecolabel and select levels for the requirements in the criteria in relation to the criteria for the EU Ecolabel. In product groups that allow for parallel labelling, the processing of applications and fees will be synchronised as far as possible.
北欧生态标签将与欧盟生态标签一起使用，并根据欧盟生态标签的标准选择标准中的要求等级。在允许并行标记的产品组中，将尽可能同步处理申请和费用。
§ 10 The Nordic Ecolabel and green public procurement 北欧生态标签和绿色公共采购
The Nordic Ecolabel can be an important instrument in public procurement. One purpose of ecolabelling products is to encourage the use of the criteria in public procurement by, when necessary, adapting the criteria to match public-sector regulations for procurement. This makes it easier for suppliers to submit tenders in line with environmental requirements that apply across the whole Region.
北欧生态标签可以成为公共采购中的重要工具。生态标签产品的目的之一是通过在必要时修改标准以使其符合公共部门的采购法规，从而鼓励在公共采购中使用这些标准。这使供应商更容易根据整个地区适用的环境要求提交投标。
§ 11 Funding 资金
Funding for the Nordic Ecolabel mainly stems from licence and application fees from businesses. The fee system is set by the Nordic Ecolabelling Association and is uniform across all of the Nordic countries.
北欧生态标签的资金主要来自企业的许可和申请费。收费系统是由北欧生态标签协会制定的，在所有北欧国家都是统一的。
Funding from national governments and the Nordic Council of Ministers strengthens the ecolabelling system’s independence and official status. The Nordic Council of Ministers decides on an annual basis whether to earmark money for work on the Nordic Ecolabel. Joint funding by the public sector is especially important for the development and revision of criteria, for continuously updating information to consumers to ensure a high level of recognition and credibility of the label across the Region and for facilitating co-ordination at Nordic level.
国家政府和北欧部长理事会的资助加强了生态标签体系的独立性和官方地位。北欧部长理事会每年决定是否专款用于北欧生态标签工作。公共部门的联合资金对于制定和修订标准，向消费者不断更新信息以确保整个地区标签的高度认可和信誉以及促进北欧一级的协调特别重要。
§ 12 Evaluation 评估
Every five years, the Nordic Council of Ministers for the Environment decides whether it is necessary to conduct an evaluation of the Nordic Ecolabel’s activities and work.
北欧环境部长理事会每五年决定是否有必要对北欧生态标签的活动和工作进行评估。
The Nordic Ecolabelling Board determines when an internal or external evaluation of the Nordic Ecolabel’s activities and work is necessary.
