Step-by-step application guide
Step 1 — Check eligibility
Email the Secretariat with a brief description of your product. They will confirm whether your product falls within an existing SGLS product category and confirm eligibility and provide you with the relevant requirements for your product category. Browse the Product Categories page to get an initial sense of scope.
Step 2 — Review the criteria
The Secretariat will provide the requirements document for your product category. Review it carefully before arranging any testing — this ensures your test reports will cover everything required for assessment.
Step 3 — Prepare your supporting documents
Gather all required documents before submitting. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
- A detailed description of your product, its composition, and its manufacturing process
- Test reports from nationally accredited third-party test laboratories, in accordance with the relevant product criteria
- A declaration letter signed by the CEO, President, Managing Director or equivalent of the applicant company
- Manufacturing process documents, dated and signed by the technical person-in-charge (Technical Director or Manager)
- Product photographs
- Any additional documentation specified in the relevant product criteria
Step 4 — Submit your application
Email your complete application and all supporting documents to greenlabel@sec.org.sg. An invoice will be issued upon commencement of assessment. Do not make any payment before receiving the invoice.
Step 5 — Assessment
The Secretariat reviews your application and notifies you of the outcome within 3 to 4 weeks of receiving a complete document set. If your application needs additional information, the Secretariat will contact you directly.
Step 6 — Certification
On approval and receipt of payment, your Singapore Green Label certificate will be issued — allow up to 3 working days. The certificate is valid for two years. You may then use the Singapore Green Label logo in accordance with the Logo Usage Guidelines.
