CEPRA for Chemicals

CAM

The Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) are requirements aimed at identifying the best solution, product or service from an environmental point of view.

CAM are periodically issued by the Italian Ministry of the Environment with specific Ministerial Decrees for the various product categories of works, services and supplies.

To date, CAM have been adopted for 17 categories of supplies and assignments.

This means that more and more companies have to comply with these criteria by demonstrating their compliance both in terms of services and products.
