Review of Standards

All certification programs' standards are reviewed every five years, or more frequently if necessary. CRS holds two 60-day public comment periods for the full review of existing standards. The second comment period can be reduced upon recommendation of the Governance Board to no fewer than 30 days.

For revisions of an existing standard or program details between five year reviews, CRS holds one 60-day public comment period, followed by additional 30-day comment periods as necessary. If a public comment period is ever shortened for any reason, the reason will be included in the public summary of the consultation process. No public comment period will be shorter than 30 days.

To comment on an existing Standard between an official stakeholder comment period, please use the form on the Stakeholder Input page.

To see comments received and revisions made to past versions of CRS Standards, please see the Green-e Climate Program Development page and the forthcoming Green-e Energy Program Development page.
