Achieving Best Environmental Practice PVC

Under the Green Star Responsible Building Material Credit 20.3, product suppliers of the common PVC applications will need to provide a third party verification certificate that their products meet the Best Environmental Practice (BEP) PVC manufacturing guidelines.

To learn more about the guidelines and the audit requirements, review the Auditor Verification Guidance document [PDF] published by the Green Building Council of Australia in conjunction with the PVC industry. It outlines the specific criteria to be met and the evidence requirements for each criteria, to be assessed by an auditor.
