India is the 43rd country in which
EPEAT registration and verification services are now available to help purchasers select products that reduce their environmental impact.
If passed, the standards will become de facto regulations as a result of President Obama's Executive Order 13514 Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance that requires all government procurement to be certified to
EPEAT.
EPEAT is a system that helps purchasers evaluate, compare and select electronic products based on their environmental attributes.
The first initiative, the electronic product environmental assessment tool (
EPEAT), was developed along the lines of EPA's and the Department of Energy's Energy Star program and assists federal procurement officials in comparing and selecting computers and monitors with environmental attributes that also routinely save money through reduced energy usage over the products' lives.
It includes a number of green features that earned it
EPEAT Gold certification, including one-touch Eco Mode activation and an ambient light sensor for reducing power consumption, a carbon footprint meter, and components that contain 50 percent less mercury than similar monitors.
EPEAT Gold (on the black version) and
EPEAT Silver certifications bear testimony to the LC display's excellent environmental compatibility.
