Certification FAQs

How does the label work for organisations?

To earn the label, government departments, institutions and businesses have to meet the FFITS.ORG labeling requirements and follow the specific program guidelines.

There are 3 labeling categories:

End User Computing
Enterprise and Data Centre
ICT as a Low Carbon Enabler

The licensing guidelines cover items including the correct use of the FFITS.ORG trade mark, and compliance with the Code of Practice. From time to time we randomly select a number of licensees and carry out an independent audit to ensure businesses continue to comply with the various requirements under the licensee criteria.
