European Union
Review environmental claim wording alongside its supporting evidence, with the relevant EU consumer-law context in the same record. National implementation and the intended use still matter.
Read the official sourceUnited Kingdom
Use the CMA’s consumer-facing guidance to organise review questions about accuracy, omissions, comparisons and the evidence behind environmental wording. Guidance supports a review; it is not product certification.
Read the official sourceUnited States
Keep qualifications and supporting information beside the environmental statement. Federal guidance and applicable state requirements need to be considered in the context of the particular claim.
Read the official sourceGermany
Germany has its own unfair-competition framework and national implementation of EU consumer rules. Review the German text and intended use; an English translation may lag behind amendments.
Read the official sourceAustria
Austria’s national legislation provides its own context for misleading advertising and consumer practices. Keep its current consolidated provisions and the particular claim in view.
Read the official sourceSwitzerland
Switzerland is outside the EU. Its unfair-competition framework needs separate consideration; EU membership and national transposition assumptions do not apply.

An enacted directive, national implementing law and guidance document serve different purposes. Review the actual statement, product, audience and place of publication before deciding which sources apply. The directory is a curated reference, not a claim of complete coverage or automatic legal assessment.
The EU directive sets requirements for Member States; national implementation and enforcement remain relevant. The UK framework is separate. US federal guidance does not replace relevant state rules. Germany, Austria and Switzerland should not be treated as a single legal jurisdiction.
Financial-sector marketing and B2B technical advertising can require additional sources. Keep the audience and distribution context with the claim and involve the appropriate reviewer.
