Overview of all products/services for which the EU Ecolabel has been awarded by the German awarding body (RAL gGmbH) and for which it is permitted to use the EU Ecolabel Logo.
The EU Ecolabel Logo is always linked to a licence number that must be depicted on the product. Licence numbers issued by RAL gGmbH have the following format: DE/YYY/ZZZ, whereby YYY indicates the relevant product group and ZZZ the contract number that has been allocated to the product or service.
The EU Ecolabel is issued by all EU member states. The first letters of the licence number indicate the relevant awarding body, e.g. NL/YYY/ZZZ indicates that the number was issued by the awarding body in the Netherlands. It is only necessary to apply to one awarding body for the EU Ecolabel. It is then valid across the entire EU after the conclusion of a contract on the use of the Ecolabel.
All companies have the opportunity to register their products and services that have been awarded with the EU Ecolabel in the EU-wide Ecolabel Catalogue (ECAT). However, the overview in ECAT remains incomplete because registration is not mandatory.
You can find out here how many products and services are currently awarded in the EU as a whole.
