The label is used in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) and it is granted by the Nordic Ecolabelling, an independent organization. The standards set by the Nordic Ecolabelling are based on the EU criteria for eco-labeling and they cover a wide range of products, from cleaning products to electrical appliances. To be awarded the Nordic Swan label, products must meet strict environmental criteria and they must be produced with the aim to reduce the environmental impact.

Examples of PPE Category 1 include gloves, goggles, and simple respirators. In Europe, PPE Category 1 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union. This means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards.

• Dermatologically Tested

  Dermatologically Tested refers to products that have been tested and proven to be safe for use on the skin. The European Union has regulations for cosmetics products, which includes dermatological testing, to ensure that products are safe for use. To be labeled as dermatologically tested, the product must be tested by a qualified professional, such as a dermatologist, and must not cause any irritation or allergic reactions. The testing must be carried out on a representative sample of human volunteers and the results must be evaluated by a qualified professional before the product can be considered as dermatologically tested and can bear the label. The EU Cosmetics Regulation, lays out the specific requirements for safety assessments and labeling of cosmetics products.
