2.2 Confidentiality and information policies 

保密和信息政策

The Nordic Ecolabelling organizations undertake to treat with due privacy confidential information received in conjunction with a license application or registration and/or in connection with development of Nordic Ecolabelling criteria.

北欧生态标签组织承诺对与许可证申请或注册一起和/或与北欧生态标签标准制定相关的机密信息进行适当的隐私处理。

The term "confidential information" here refers to information - of technical, commercial, personal or any other nature — that has been supplied in connection with the above and that may be regarded as confidential.

术语“机密信息”在此是指结合以上内容提供的，可能被视为机密的技术，商业，个人或任何其他性质的信息。

2.3 Validity period for a license/registration

许可证/注册的有效期

A license/registration is valid for the period during which the associated criteria are valid. At the end of a validity period of the criteria, a new revised document is adopted by NMN and a new license application (renewal) is required. The licensee is informed of the new requirements in good time, according to the time plan set out in the criteria. If the validity period of the criteria is extended, a new application is not required as the license/ registration is automatically prolonged.

许可证/注册在相关标准有效期间有效。在标准的有效期结束时，NMN将采用新的修订文件，并且需要新的许可证申请（续签）。根据标准中规定的时间表，应及时将新要求通知给被许可人。如果标准的有效期延长了，由于许可/注册会自动延长，因此不需要新的申请。

2.4 Transfer 转让

A license/registration may only be transferred with the prior written consent of the Nordic Ecolabelling organization. The application for the transfer of a license/registration is made in writing to the national ecolabelling organization of the country in which the license was issued.

许可证/注册只能在获得北欧生态标签组织事先书面同意的情况下转让。许可证/注册的转让申请以书面形式向颁发许可证的国家/地区的国家生态标签组织提出。

2.5 Termination 终止

A license or registration may be terminated by its holder. This shall be done in writing, and a three-month period of notice is required. Notification of termination shall be sent in writing to the license/ registration holder's national ecolabelling organization.

许可证或注册可由其持有人终止。这应以书面形式进行，并且需要三个月的通知期。终止通知应以书面形式发送给许可证/注册持有人的国家生态标签组织。

2.6 Revocation of a license or registration 许可证或注册的吊销

The Nordic Ecolabelling license/registration may be revoked if the holder of the license/registration or the product fails to meet the requirement s stipulated in these regulations, in the relevant criteria or in laws and ordinances relating to the product. Failure to pay fees, inaccurate financial statements (see Section 4) and use of the Nordic Ecolabel contrary to Section 7 or the Logo Guideline for the Nordic Ecolabel constitute grounds for revocation.

如果许可证/注册的持有人或产品不符合本法规，相关标准或与产品有关的法律和法规所规定的要求，则可以撤销北欧生态标签的许可证/注册。未能支付费用，财务报表不准确（请参阅第4节）以及违反第7节或《北欧生态标签徽标指南》的使用北欧生态标签构成了撤销的理由。

If a license is revoked, the right to use the Nordic Ecolabel ceases with immediate effect. Revocation of a license leads to the annulment of registrations in other Nordic countries connected to the license. The revocation can be temporary or can apply throughout the period of validity of the generation of the criteria. Appeals may be lodged against revocations (see Section 5).

如果吊销了许可证，则立即终止使用北欧生态标签的权利。许可证的撤销导致与该许可证有关的其他北欧国家/地区的注册被废止。撤销可以是临时的，也可以在准则生成的整个有效期内应用。可以针对撤销提出上诉（请参阅第5节）。

In exceptional circumstances, the Nordic Ecolabelling Board may decide to rescind, or otherwise  substantially alter, criteria during the normal period of validity if new information regarding effects on health or the environment is made available. In such cases, the Nordic Ecolabelling  organizations reserve the right to revoke all licenses within that product group.

在特殊情况下，如果可获得有关健康或环境影响的新信息，则北欧生态标签委员会可以决定在正常的有效期内撤销或以其他方式大幅度更改标准。在这种情况下，北欧生态标签组织保留撤销该产品组中所有许可的权利。

2.7Infringement of the Nordic Ecolabel 侵犯北欧生态标签

Measures are always taken against the unauthorized use of the Nordic Ecolabel. Licensees and holders of registrations are only permitted to use the Nordic Ecolabel when the relevant license or registration is valid. Use of the Nordic Ecolabel must comply with the regulations in Section 7 and the prevailing version of the Logo Guideline for t he Nordic Ecolabel.

始终采取措施防止未经授权使用北欧生态标签。仅当相关许可或注册有效时，才允许注册的被许可人和持有人使用北欧生态标签。北欧生态标签的使用必须遵守第7节中的规定以及北欧生态标签的徽标准则的现行版本。

The licensee's right to use the Nordic Ecolabel ceases at the end of the license period, when the license becomes invalid or when the licensing relationship between licensee and responsible Nordic Ecolabelling organization ends in any other way. Termination of a license always leads to the immediate annulment of associated registrations.

当许可证无效或许可证持有人与负责任的北欧生态标签组织之间的许可关系以任何其他方式终止时，被许可人使用北欧生态标签的权利将在许可期限结束时终止。许可证的终止总是导致相关注册的立即废止。

Should a former holder of a license/registration continue to make use of the Nordic Ecolabel without being granted a new license/registration, the Nordic Ecolabelling organization reserves t he right to claim financial compensation. The size of such compensation shall be equivalent to the turnover-based license fee that a licensee would have been required to pay for a license, and a financial penalty, the severity of which is determined by the extent and duration of the infringement as well as the damages that Nordic Ecolabelling may have incurred as a result of such misuse. Such a financial penalty should not normally be less than EUR 4,000 (four thousand). The Nordic Ecolabelling organizations may also take legal action against the infringement of the Nordic Ecolabel or if rules in the prevailing version of the Logo Guideline for the Nordic Ecolabel are not fulfilled.

如果前许可证/注册持有人继续使用北欧生态标签而未获得新的许可证/注册，则北欧生态标签组织保留要求经济赔偿的权利。此类赔偿的金额应等于被许可人需要为许可证支付的基于营业额的许可费，以及罚款额，罚款的严重程度取决于侵权的程度和持续时间以及这种滥用可能导致北欧生态标签造成的损害。此类罚款通常不应少于4,000欧元（四千欧元）。北欧生态标签组织也可能对侵犯北欧生态标签的行为采取法律行动，或者未遵守现行版本的《北欧生态标签徽标指南》中的规定。

Licensees who use the Nordic Ecolabel on product s that do not fulfil the criteria to which the licensee committed itself shall be considered to have misused the Nordic Ecolabel.

在不符合被许可人承诺的标准的产品上使用北欧生态标签的被许可人，应被视为滥用了北欧生态标签。

2.8 Liabilities 责任

Licensing and registration do not transfer any product liabilities in relation to third parties from the licensee to the Nordic Ecolabelling organization.

许可和注册不会将与第三方有关的任何产品责任从被许可人转移到北欧生态标签组织。

The licensee may not cite the licensing scheme, or inspection by the Nordic Ecolabelling organization, in any guarantee or description of liabilities.

Licensees shall use the Nordic Ecolabel in accordance with good practice and in compliance with the Nordic Ecolabelling organization's requirements (see Section 7 and Appendix).

被许可人应按照良好实践并遵守北欧生态标签组织的要求来使用北欧生态标签（请参阅第7节和附录）。
