Environmental labeling
In anticipation of possible French regulations expected in the near future, 3 EuroSIMA membercompanies, with the assistance of a Swiss research consulting firm, are currently testingmethods for environmental labeling on consumption products. The objective is to test a referencecode validated by Ademe and AFNOR for shoes but also to create new reference codesspecifically adapted for board sports products (board shorts and surf boards). Results areexpected for the end of the year. AFNOR website:http://affichage-environnemental.afnor.org#mce_temp_url#
