2 SIRIM ECOLABELLING SCHEME Ecolabelling - Communicating a product environmental benefits to consumers and businesses. SIRIM QAS International Ecolabelling Scheme - A product will be independently tested and verified against preset criteria before the organisation is allowed to use SIRIM QAS International s Eco-Labelling mark on its product, packaging and promotional materials. Eco-Labelling mark - Marketing tool which will enable a company to position its product as an environmentally-friendly product. This, in turn, will give the product a competitive edge over other similar products in a consumer market that is increasingly becoming more environmentally conscious.
