Abstract :
The IT Industry in Europe has been challenged with an increasing number of eco-labels for their products. What these ask for and which references need to be looked at are considered as well as a position paper issued by the industry association EICTA (European Information and Communications Technology Industry Association). An attempt is made to explain the industry position illustrating the current challenges and issues with the accepted ISO standards in mind
