EPEAT Certificate Training - Sao Paulo
EPEAT® CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATE TRAINING
Sao Paulo Brazil November 29 - December 1, 2011
For manufacturers, suppliers, consultants and purchasers
EPEAT® is the premier environmental rating system to help purchasers evaluate, compare and select greener IT. EPEAT covers computers (Desktops, Laptops, Thin Clients, Workstations), computer monitors/displays, imaging equipment (e.g. printers, scanners, copiers) and televisions.
EPEAT scores products across more than 50 lifecycle environmental performance criteria, and conducts ongoing third-party verification of manufacturer claims. EPEAT’s simple yet powerful Bronze, Silver or Gold product-specific rating is well-recognized in the marketplace, making it easy for manufacturers to demonstrate the environmental attributes of their products and for purchasers to select greener electronics for their homes and businesses.
EPEAT covers 41 countries and has more participating manufacturers across more rated IT products than any other environmental registry, enabling purchasers to compare and select products from local or global suppliers based on environmental excellence.
This course will teach the EPEAT® system and the IEEE 1680.1 standard for computers and computer displays, from product declaration through verification. The training is divided into two modules - a free two hour introduction and a 3-day full Conformity Assessment Certificate training. The full 3-day training includes the option to take the certificate exam. Delegates who successfully complete the full 3-day training and certificate exam will be EPEAT-certificated to perform conformity assessment and verification.

Manufacturers who take the course will be able to use the EPEAT environmental rating system. You will gain in-depth knowledge of the system operations and standard requirements. You will learn in detail the product declaration process; the product, service and corporate criteria; and the verification process.
Suppliers who participate will be able to assist customers to qualify products to the EPEAT standards. You will learn what proof is required for the different product criteria, and how to help manufacturers maintain supporting information for their product declaration.
Consultants who take the course will be competent to provide product registration and verification support services to manufacturers registering products in EPEAT. You will also be certified to perform verification within the EPEAT® system as an independent contractor.
Purchasers who join the 2-hour introduction learn to use the EPEAT registry as part of the purchasing process. You will learn to identify and compare products, and manufacturers, that can help you meet your sustainability goals. You also learn to calculate the environmental benefits of your EPEAT purchases for sustainability reporting.
