GECA
Held and in scopeGood Environmental Choice Australia
the 22 current GECA standards are held in full. Nine editions GECA has withdrawn are named in withdrawn_standards.csv with zero requirements held: GECA does not publish a copy of any of them, and none was obtained. They are named because GECA still lists a certified product against every one of them, so a certificate or a Green Star Responsible Products entry can cite an edition the register cannot answer for. GECA states that its remaining retired standards are available on request; how many there are is not published, so how much of GECA's history is missing cannot be stated
