本計畫主要工作內容包括執行環境保護產品追蹤查核管理作業、辦理環境保護產品廠商獲證後之管理作業，以及宣傳環境保護產品獲證後管理制度。 完成「106年度環境保護產品後市場追蹤查核抽驗規劃書」以確認查核標的，查核工作則依據核定之「環境保護產品追蹤查核標準作業程序」執行。本年度已修訂「行政院環境保護署處理環境保護產品違規案件標準作業程序」，做為環保標章廠商及非標章廠商違規使用處理之依據，亦已完成「環境保護產品推動使用作業要點」之修正。。 完成追蹤查核系統化之抽驗及查核管制機制，有效掌握包含產品抽驗不符合及違規使用環保標章等後續處理進度。完成209家次433件之產品抽樣檢驗，計11家次18件產品經抽檢驗不合格，皆已依「行政院環境保護署環境保護產品推動使用作業要點」辦理。 完成51場次404件產品之販售場所查核（含2家電子商務平台），確認標章產品皆符合標示要求。 完成辦理7家次143件產品之違規使用環保標章之案件查核處理工作，共計2家次6件予以撤證及移送法制單位處理。 完成台北及高雄共2場次之廠商宣導說明會，以提升廠商申請意願及加強廠商對於標章產品錯誤使用及產品品質控管之認知。 建議下年度針對往年抽測不合格之產品項目，而本年度抽測均符合者，可回歸「環境保護產品追蹤查核標準作業程序」處理。而原生碳粉匣、可攜式投影機、冷氣機及電風扇之塑膠件鉛含量；飲水供應機能源效率；原生碳粉匣及回收再利用碳粉匣黃色碳粉匣之偶氮染料；回收再生紡織品之鄰苯二甲酸酯類；建築用隔熱材料之熱傳導係數等產品，因本年度抽測不符合，故下年度應優先抽驗。針對抽測不合格產品項目之塑膠件可能使用有回收料，然因塑膠件鉛含量未與其他同類產品連動修正，造成抽測不符合之狀況，建議重新檢視規格標準管制限值，以確保一致性。建議說明會內容可著重於申請後廠商之權利與義務，加強業者申請後之供應商管理、產品管理、變更事項、追蹤查核作法與處置以及相關案例分析說明等。 短中長期建議整併規格標準及追蹤查核計畫，以適時反應抽驗結果及廠商意見，而抽樣產品之採購及檢測費用佔計畫經費偏高，造成執行計畫之壓力與經費分配不均之情形，建議未來能予考量提高計畫經費，以利抽樣檢驗作業之執行。又為達抽樣檢測之客觀及公正性，建議對於抽樣產品之送樣，亦宜依據不同檢測品項與項目分別委託檢測機構檢驗，以確保評估之客觀性及一致性。

The main tasks of this project include conducting environmental protection product follow-up surveillance activities, managing post-certification related activities of environmental protection product licensees, and promoting follow-up surveillance activities of certified environmental protection products. The “2017 Plan for Conducting Surveillance of Environmental Protection Products” has been completed and used for verification of project goals; while the verification operations have been conducted in accordance with the “Standard Operating Procedure for the Conduct of Surveillance on Environmental Protection Products”. In addition, the "Procedure for Handling Misuses of Green Mark by the Environmental Protection Products" has been revised and adopted to serve as the basis for handling the misuses of Green Mark by the manufacturers or service providers not certified to use Green Mark on their products or services; the “Guidelines for the Promotion of Environmental Protection Products” has also been revised. A systematic sampling and verification mechanism has been established for this project, which can be used for conducting follow-up surveillance activities, and allowing for the effective tracking of corrective actions involving non-complying products or illegal uses of Green Mark logo. Regarding the implementation of follow-up surveillance activities, this year, 433 certified products from 209 licensees were sampled and tested, and non-compliances were found on 18 products from 11 Green Mark licensees which have been subjected to the corrective actions as stipulated in the Guidelines for the Promotion of Environmental Protection Products. During 51 site visits/audits (including 2 online vendors), 404 products were audited and their proper uses of the Green Mark logo on certified products verified. In addition, 106 products from 7 licensees involving misuses of Green Mark logo were processed, with 6 products from 2 licenses subjected to termination of logo usage or legal actions. On the promotion of environmental protection products, two informational seminars were held in Taipei and Kaohsiung respectively, in order to improve the awareness and willingness of product manufacturers and providers in applying for Green Mark logo usage, improve the quality of certified products, and reduce the incidents of potentially misusing the Green Mark logo. Regarding the implementation commendations for the next year, it is recommended that for non-compliance issues discovered in the past years, if non-conforming licensees are found to be in conformance this year, these licensees should be eligible for processing under the routine SOP for Follow-up Surveillance of Environmental Protection Products. Also, it is recommended that the following requirements be considered as priority items for verification next year, as they are found to be non-conforming this year: lead content in plastic parts of original toner cartridges, portable projectors, air conditioners and electric fans; energy efficiency of drinking water fountains and dispensers; azo dyes in original toner cartridges and recycled (yellow) toner cartridges; phthalates in textiles with recycled content; and thermal conductivity of building insulation materials. Non-compliances were first found for plastic parts of many non-conforming products mainly due to their uses of recycled materials; while non-compliances for lead content in these plastic parts occurred as the lead content requirements in these categories were not revised as with other similar product categories. It is recommended that the consistency of legal content limits for the same regulated items among different product categories be reviewed periodically to ensure proper consistency. Regarding recommendations for future work of the project, it is recommended that future informational seminars should have contents covering the rights and obligations of the licensees, post-certification management of suppliers and products, revision of product registration, follow-up surveillance and corrective actions, as well as discussion of relevant case studies. Recommendations for the project’s mid-term and long-term work involve two parts, assignment of project work, and funding for testing and inspection. It is recommended that the product criteria development work and follow-up surveillance activities be integrated, so that results for post-certification inspection and testing activities and responses from involved licensees can be reflected in time. At present, a great portion of the project funds is being spent on purchasing sample products and conducting testing of sampled products, which created an uneven use of project funds and financial pressure on conducting other project activities. Therefore, it is recommended that the project funding be increased so that product sampling and testing can be conducted properly. Moreover, in order to achieve the objectivity and fairness of certified product sampling and testing, it is recommended that the sampled products be sent to respective accreditated laboratories in accordance with the specific test items and tests.
