The criteria and requirements for the award of the natureplus® eco-label are laid down in the following Award Guidelines.

Each building product with the natureplus® quality label must fulfil the requirements of its respective product criterion.

In addition to the requirements of the individual product criteria, the requirements of any other guidelines mentioned there must be fulfilled - e.g.basic guidelines (GL 5000 ff.)

For products consisting of several system components e.g. thermal insulation composite systems, as well as for components/ building elements (GL 2000 ff.), the requirements for the indvidual components specified in the product criterion also apply.

You will find all the applicable certification criteria in the navigation below.

If you, as a manufacturer of building products, cannot find a natureplus Award Guideline for your specific products, then you can enquire at the natureplus office as to whether such a guideline is currently being worked on or planned. As a member of the natureplus Association you have the right to actively participate in the creation of the Award Guidelines that affect you.

In order to give consumers and manufacturers the confidence that preventive health protection is consistently guaranteed, emissions from building products will be assessed in accordance with guideline 5010 as part of natureplus certification since April 2019.

In order to take the requirements of climate protection adequately into account, all products for which eco-indicators have already been collected will be assessed according to Guideline 5020 Climate Compatibility and Energy Efficiency since June 2021.

We would like to point out that the basic guidelines (GL 5000ff.) apply to all product criteria and replace any deviating requirements that may still exist there.
