Procedures for renewing carbon reduction label. How can it be used without risking fines or imprisonment?

      If a business is using carbon reduction labels, and if the labels expire in 180 days and it wishes to continue using them, it must hurry, as, if they are used after they expire, the business owner risks imprisonment and fines of hundreds of thousands of baht. The procedures for renewing the labels are as follows:

(1) When requesting to renew the carbon reduction label, the applicant must submit the application form for carbon reduction label renewal together with supporting documents for consideration and pay the preliminary fee, as shown in the schedule, to the staff of the Thailand Environment Institute.

• Application form for carbon reduction label renewal:
• Supporting documents for label renewal application:
• Product details with product samples;
• Factory Operation License;
• Certification or a copy of the Company Partnership Registration Office showing the name of the person(s) authorized to act on behalf of the juristic person applying for the license;

The technical working team may visit the applicant’s factory before submitting the assessment results to the committee certifying the reduction or avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions.
