Beginning 2010, accredited certifying bodies will independently assure conformity to the new e-Stewards® Standard. All e-Stewards® will be certified to both ISO 14001 and the industry-specific performance requirements in a single annual audit. The e-Stewards® certification program will provide the highest level of assurance to verify that an e-waste recycler, processor, or refurbisher meets the world’s most responsible environmental and social justice criteria for electronics recycling.
