ECO LABEL Criteria for Industrial and Institutional Automatic Dishwashing Detergents

ECO LABEL Criteria for Industrial and Institutional Automatic Dishwashing Detergents

The main ECO LABEL criteria determined for industrial and institutional automatic dishwasher detergents are collected under the following headings:

ECO LABEL Criteria for Industrial and Institutional Automatic Dishwashing Detergents

  • Toxicity to aquatic organisms
  • Biodegradability
  • Sustainable resource use of palm oil, palm kernel oil and their derivatives
  • Excluded and restricted substances
  • Packaging features
  • Suitability for use
  • Automatic dosage systems
  • User information

For example, according to the criterion of toxicity for aquatic organisms, the critical dilution volume of the product should not exceed certain limits for the reference dosage. This criterion includes limitations for pre-soaking, dishwasher detergents, multi-component systems and rinseers on the basis of soft, medium and hard water hardness.

On the other hand, the content of organic substances that cannot be aerobically biodegradable or anaerobically biodegradable should not exceed the limits specified in the criteria. This criterion also includes limitations on the basis of soft, medium and hard water hardness for pre-wetting, dishwasher detergents, multi-component systems and rinseers.

Another criterion relates to the sustainable resource use of palm oil, palm kernel oil and their derivatives. The ingredients used in palm oil or palm kernel oil products must be derived from plantations that meet the established requirements for sustainable production. It addresses environmental impacts, including soil, biodiversity, organic carbon stocks and conservation of natural resources.

One criterion relates to automatic dosage systems. For multi-component systems, the manufacturer must ensure that the product is used with an automatic and controlled dosage system. In order to ensure the correct dosage in automatic dosing systems, all facilities where the product is used will be visited at least once a year during the document period and the calibration of the dosing equipment will be checked. These visits can be made by the accredited institution that issued the document.

Our organization has a strong staff that closely follows the developments in the world in the field of science and technology and constantly improves itself. At the same time, it uses modern test equipment and applies test methods accepted all over the world. In this context, it provides ECO LABEL certification services for industrial and institutional automatic dishwasher detergents to manufacturers.
