Tenderers who offer other brands will have the legal responsibility to document that their environmental label can be seen as equal/equivalent with the marks specified above.
When calculation of points on this criteria, the score for the individual products will be multiplied by the estimated volume stated in column E in the price form for the individual products.

Documentation requirement:
Tenderers shall fill in the column Environmental Label in Annex 4A Price Form, if the offered product is environmentally labelled. The name of the marking scheme must be given, and a valid licence number must either be given, or a valid certificate/licence certificate must be enclosed. If a license number is provided, it must be possible to apply for a license number on the brand scheme ́s website to check that it is valid.

Marking schemes where it is sufficient to state the valid licence number: The Swan Ecolabel ( The Swan Ecolabel) licence number.

For Blue Angel, certificates/licence certificates must be enclosed, as it is not possible to apply for a licence number on Blå Engel ́s website. Other marking schemes must be examined before submitting a tender if it is possible to check any licence numbers on the brand scheme ́s website.

Alternative documentation
In accordance with PPR § 15 - 3 (2), the contracting authority shall accept alternative documentation if a tenderer is unable to participate in the marking scheme or an equivalent marking scheme by the deadline, and this is not due to the tenderer himself. This may be the case where the tenderer is offering a new product, or have recently taken over sales rights for a product. If alternative documentation is given, it is the tenderer ́s responsibility to facilitate this in an educational way so that it is easy to assess whether the requirements are met.

If it takes more than four hours in total to assess alternative documentation in the tender, this can lead to the relevant documentation being rejected.

If alternative documentation is accepted by the contracting authority, an application for a licence for offered products in the Swan Ecolabel or equivalent marking scheme will be sent as soon as possible after the contract has been signed and at the latest within three months. This shall be documented to the contracting authority. It is the tenderer ́s responsibility to ensure that sufficient documentation is given to the marking scheme in time.
