Standards are published by national or international standardisation bodies (examples being BSI, CENELEC, ISO, IEC, etc). It also seems to take litle account of current standardisation work on Energy Saving - such as the draft peEN16001 covering Energy Management Systems. There is significant work ongoing (quietly in the background) in the UK, in Europe (CEN & CENELEC) and at ISO on preparation of standards covering aspects of Energy Savings. Last Wednesday 25 June, there was a conference on this topic at the ICO in London. There is also some concern being rxpressed at the "Marketing Announcements" of some companies about their Green'ness. Some are genuine while many seem to use assorted means to justify their claims.
