Lesson 7, Topic 1: Section 6, References – Examples Copy Copy
Finally, section 6 includes manufacturer contact information, particularly for the person responsible for publishing the HPD. This is the person you’d contact if you have any questions about the manufacturer’s HPD. And then below that is a key to show the meanings of the various abbreviations that are found throughout the HPD.

GreenScreen Benchmark scores sometimes also carry subscripts, which provide more context for how the score was determined. These are DG (data gap), TP (transformation product), and CoHC (chemical of high concern). For more information, see 2.2.2.4 GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals, www.greenscreenchemicals.org, and Best Practices for Hazard Screening on the HPDC website (hpd-collaborative.org).
