What does Eco-label Certification mean?
In 2004, an assessment of the primary environmental impacts of NMP products was undertaken by the Australian Environmental Labelling Association Inc. in conformance to international environmental labelling standards - ISO 14 020. NMP products were assessed against Standard AELA 13-2004 Architectural (Protective) Coatings. The standard assesses: fitness for purpose; VOC levels; Titanium Dioxide content; glycol ether content; heavy metal content; carcinogenic substances content; product packaging (NMP products are transported and retailed in recyclable plastic and tin packaging); use of ozone-depleting substances; and hydrocarbon solvents content.
National Maintenance Products (NMP) Pty Ltd was the first protective coatings manufacturer to be awarded the Good Environmental Choice Label under the Australian Eco-label Program, which prompted the quote from Mr. Nick Travers - Lead Case Verifier. "NMP Pty Ltd is an example of a coating manufacturer leading the design and implementation of quality, environmentally-preferable coating solutions for the domestic and international markets".
The continuing focus of NMP is towards broader regional and international expansion of the JAXXON and Scubapox brands, and as a consequence, NMP has chosen to adopt a more international “ISO14021 self declaration” approach to claims regarding the environmental and workplace health and safety attributes of our products.
NMP will not compromise on raw materials and will remain forever mindful of the impact of our products on the environment, our NMP manufacturing staff, and of course applicators and end-users.
