Here is what an October 1998 documents says.
Finland is a member of the Nordic eco-label shared with Norway and Sweden.
The Nordic label looks set to continue, even though Finland and Sweden have
joined the EU. Criteria have been developed for 43 product groups and 350
labels have been awarded to 1200 products. Contact Mrs Leena Nyqvist, Finish
Standards Association (SFS) - Environmental Labeling, BOX 116 Fin-00241
Helsinki. Tel 358-91-4.99-3391. E-mail [email protected]

TUV Rheinland has also started its own eco-label, called ECO Circle, for
office equipment.
There is also an EU eco-label symbol.

Subject: ECO Declaration
Ed;
Here are snipets from a note I received a week or so ago.
It may answer your Q regarding "ECO".
*****
Sweden, Denmark and Norway have an organisation called Nordic
Information Technology Organisation (NITO). Yesterday they sent
me a draft of an ECO Declaration. I believe that we have to fill
in an declaration for each product. Do you have any comments to
the ECO Declaration and the guidelines?
********
I printed out the accompanying forms and reviewed. They largely
dealt with environmental (ecological) issues. I forwarded the
information and files to our environmental people, but deleted the
files to avoid needless bit-bucket usage.
