With the international registry expansion, EPEAT now makes it easy for purchasers in 41 countries around the world to choose greener electronics that cut costs, reduce environmental impacts and help lead the transition to a prosperous, low-carbon economy.

IT purchasers in the US, Canada, Europe, China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Mexico can now evaluate, compare and select products that are available to them locally, based on the products’ environmental performance in their country/region.

For details on how the EPEAT standard applies worldwide, see a short slide deck on internationalization.

Current EPEAT registry countries/regions

Please Note – New countries will be added to the EPEAT registry through a formal Country/Region Addition process. Please see Country/Region Addition section for more information on the process, how to nominate a country or region or comment on a proposed addition.

EPEAT Country/Region Addition

The country/region addition process will enable purchasers, manufacturers or other stakeholders to nominate countries for addition to the registry, providing some basic information to support that nomination. The Board of Advisors reviews country/region addition proposals at their quarterly meetings, and approves those that they feel are substantially supported by evidence of purchaser and supplier interest, government support or other factors.

The bias will be in favor of country/region addition where demonstrable interest is shown; however the BofA may condition their approvals based on strategic considerations such as verification capacity, available resources, etc.

Once a given country/region is approved, its addition to the registry will be announced publicly and posted on this page. At that time, subscribers will have 60 days to register products in the country/region before its registry column goes public.

The Country/Region Addition Process was approved in December 2009 and Singapore was approved as the first country addition to the international registry in February 2010.

Countries/Regions Pending Approval

There are currently no countries/regions pending approval.

Any listed countries have been nominated for addition to the EPEAT registry.  All interested parties who wish to support their inclusion in EPEAT (or have objections to their being included) are urged to communicate with us in writing regarding your thoughts.
