Explanation:

Both the statements are incorrect. Eco-Mark is an eco-labelling scheme which was constituted by the Government of India in 1991 for easy identification of environment-friendly products.
The specific objectives of the scheme are as follow:
• To provide an incentive for manufacturers and importers to reduce adverse environmental impact of products.
• To reward genuine initiatives by companies to reduce adverse environmental impact of their products.
• To assist consumers to become environmentally responsible in their daily lives by providing information to take account of environmental factors in their purchase decisions.
• To encourage citizens to purchase products which have less harmful environmental impacts
• Ultimately to improve the quality of the environment and to encourage the sustainable management of resources.
Eco-Mark is unique when compared to other eco-labels in one aspect; it also necessitated meeting the quality requirements of BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)
