Abstract: This Preliminary Report is intended to provide the background information for the revision of the existing EU Ecolabel criteria for indoor and outdoor paints and varnishes (Commission Decision 2014/312/EU). The present study has been carried out by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) with the technical support of Viegand Maagøe A/S. The work was developed for the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment. The EU Ecolabel criteria for indoor and outdoor paints and varnishes set out in Decision 2014/312/EU were established in 2014. Commission Decision (EU) 2022/1229 prolonged their validity until 31 December 2025. To support the revision process with technical evidence, this Preliminary Report consists of: — an analysis of the scope, definitions and description of the legal framework, as well as a first proposal for the revised scope (Task 1); — a market analysis (Task 2); — a technical analysis, including an environmental assessment (Task 3). This background information, combined with input received from the stakeholders involved, was used in the revision process to justify the choices behind the revision of the criteria (research and work carried out from June 2023 to June 2025).
