Products are now clearly within the scope of the EMAS Regulation in the same way as activities and services, i.e. their significant environmental impacts have to be included in the environmental review, management and audit system; their impacts have also to be verified by an EMAS verifier, information about them has to be included in the environmental statement and their environmental performance has to be continuously improved.
Produkte fallen nun eindeutig in den Anwendungsbereich der EMAS-Verordnung, in gleicher Weise wie Tätigkeiten und Dienstleistungen, d. h. ihre erheblichen Umweltauswirkungen müssen in das System der Umweltprüfung, des Umweltmanagements und der Umweltbetriebsprüfung aufgenommen werden.
