3 What is a rdic Ecoabeed ceaning product? rdic Ecoabeed ceaning products are amongst the east environmentay harmfu products within their category, the substances they contain have the owest impact on the environment possibe, and strict requirements are imposed with regard to the chemicas used in the products. The environmenta requirements incude strict requirements as to the content of environmentay harmfu substances and substances not readiy degradabe in aquatic environments. Account is aso taken of heath factors; for exampe the content of fragrance and other aergenic substances is restricted. The products are discharged into water after use. Properties such as biodegradabiity, bioaccumuabiity and toxicity to aquatic organisms are accordingy key considerations with regard to a constituent components. The effect of the products on the environment wi aso depend on the way in which they are used. Accordingy, the consumer must be provided with dosage information. The required performance testing must demonstrate that the specified dose of the product has a ceaning effect that is satisfactory. Furthermore, packaging requirements are imposed in order to reduce the quantity of packaging used and to increase recycing and re-use. rdic Ecoabeed ceaning products: Are among the best in cass with regard to heath and the environment. Offer exceent ceaning performance and are ong asting. Has a smart packaging which means ess transport. Why choose the rdic Ecoabe? Manufacturers of ceaning products can use the rdic Ecoabe trademark in their marketing. The rdic Ecoabe enjoys considerabe renown and credibiity within the rdic countries. The rdic Ecoabe is a cost-effective and simpe way of communicating the manufacturers environmenta work and commitment to customers and suppiers. Environmenta issues are compex and it can take time to understand specific probems. The rdic Ecoabeing process can be used to as an aid to understanding the issues. rdic Ecoabeing is not ony about environmenta issues, but aso about quaity, since these two parameters cannot be separated. This means that a rdic Ecoabeing icence can aso be viewed as a mark of quaity. rdic Ecoabeing of ceaning products (23)

4 What products are eigibe for a rdic Ecoabe? The product group encompasses ceaning products intended for indoor, genera and reguar ceaning of the foowing areas: fixed surfaces (foors, was, ceiings, doors, ties and windows) kitchen equipment (for exampe windows, work surfaces, kitchen cabinets, stoves) sanitary instaations (toiets, baths, showers, wash basins, cabinets) The types of ceaning products to which the requirements appy Professiona products (products are considered professiona if more than 80% of saes are to the professiona market) and/or consumer products can be abeed. Product categories are isted beow: Product categories Ceaning products containing microorganisms which are used to cean fixed surfaces (foors, was etc.), either as concentrates or as RTU-products (Ready to use) for the professiona, market are incuded in the product group. Spray products (or products marketed to be used with a spray appication) containing microorganisms are not incuded in the product group. Concentrated, professiona: This category incudes professiona products that require diution with water prior to use. It contains products for a the aforementioned surfaces, such as fooring, was, ceiings, windows, kitchen work surfaces, ties, sanitary porceain (toiets and bathtubs) and showers. Tabets/ capsues for toiets are incuded in this category. RTU (Ready-to-use) professiona: Professiona products that are pre-diuted and ready for use. This category incudes products for kitchens, bathtubs and showers, but not for arge areas* such as foors. RTU (Ready-to-use) WC professiona: Professiona toiet ceaners that are pre-diuted and ready for use straight from the package. This category ony incudes products for use on toiets and excudes ceaners for other sanitary porceain and bathroom ceaners. RTU (Ready-to-use) window ceaner, consumer and professiona: Professiona window and gass ceaners that are pre-diuted and ready for use straight from the package. Concentrated, consumer: Concentrated products that require diution with water prior to use that are designed for the consumer market. This category contains products for a the aforementioned surfaces in the home, such as fooring, was, ceiings, windows, kitchen work surfaces, sanitary porceain and showers. Tabets/capsues for toiets are incuded in this category. RTU (Ready-to-use) WC, consumer: Consumer toiet ceaners that are prediuted and ready for use straight from the package.

5 RTU-spray products refer to products with a mechanica spreading/spray function. Foam products are considered as RTU-products, but not as spray products and need to fufi RTU requirements. *The term arge areas refers to areas such as foors and tied bathroom was. RTU products sha be intended for use on smaer surfaces and oca ceaning. Method of use Concentrated products that can be used both in a diuted state, such as diuted in a bucket of water, and in a more concentrated state, such as diuted with a sma quantity of water for use in a spray botte, must fufi the requirements for both concentrated (diuted in bucket) and RTU (spray botte) products. Products that are sod on both professiona and consumer markets must fufi the requirements for professiona products. Products designed for severa areas of use, such as toiet and bathroom ceaner (was and foor) must fufi the requirements of each appicabe category. Products that do not quaify for ecoabeing as ceaning products Ceaning products intended for specia ceaning purposes cannot be ecoabeed in accordance with these criteria. This incudes products intended soey for the purpose of: cacium remova oven ceaners unbocking bockages, ceaning drains restricting or preventing bioogica growth (agae, fungus, bacteria) tota or partia disinfection continuous ceaning, e.g. fragrance bock for ceaning WCs ceaning products for refrigerated rooms Wipes containing ceaning agents are not eigibe for ecoabeing under the criteria for ceaning products or any other current rdic Ecoabe criteria. In the event of dispute, rdic Ecoabeing wi determine which criteria a product may be ecoabeed under. How to appy Each requirement is abeed with a etter R (requirement) and a number.

6 Appication Appications are made to the nationa ecoabeing organisation and the appication is vaid for 12 months. Appications may be processed by another ecoabeing organisation according to agreement between the organisations. The appicant is notified of this. Companies ocated outside the rdic countries make appications to the nationa ecoabeing organisation of the primary market. The appication must consist of a competed appication form together with a of the documentation required to demonstrate compiance with the requirements specified in the criteria document (this is specified for each requirement). The appication form must specify in which rdic countries the products in question are to be sod and the estimated turnover from the products in each country. Further information and assistance may be avaiabe. Visit the reevant nationa website for information. Saes in the rdic region Once granted, a icence is vaid throughout the rdic region. The icence document specifies in which rdic countries the products are sod according to the information provided on the appication. The products are pubished on rdic Ecoabeing s website(s). The icensee undertakes to inform rdic Ecoabeing of any changes as to where the product is sod. If the product is to be sod in other rdic countries than those initiay specified in the appication, the icensee must provide written notification of this and submit any extra documentation required to rdic Ecoabeing in the country that issued the icense. In order to get a rdic icence granted, the foowing documents must be submitted by the appicant: Documentation demonstrating fufiment of any nationa egisation/specia requirements (e.g. documentation that the quantity of phosphorous contained in the product and abeing are in compiance with the rwegian Reguations).

7 What are the requirements of the rdic Ecoabe? To be awarded a rdic Ecoabe icence, a requirements must be fufied. For renewa, documentation in accordance with a requirements must be submitted in order to retain the icence. 1 Environmenta requirements Uness otherwise specified, the requirements in Chapter 1 appy to a ingoing substances. Ingoing substances are a substances contained in the ceaning product, incuding additives in ingredients (e.g. preservatives and stabiisers), but not poutants deriving from raw materia production. Poutants are traces of raw materia production occurring in the ceaning product in concentrations of ess than 0.010% (100 ppm). Substances added to a raw materia deiberatey or for a purpose are not counted as poutants, irrespective of concentration. Impurities of over 1.0% concentration in the primary product are regarded as constituent substances. Substances/products known to be iberated by a constituent substance (e.g. formadehyde and aryamine) are aso themseves considered to be constituent substances. The weight of tabets and capsues in grams per itre of in-use soution is used for cacuations. For WC tabets, cacuations are based on grams per itre of water, i.e. one tabet for one itre of water for the cacuation of environmentay hazardous substances (R10), CDV (R11) and biodegradabiity (R12). The chemica requirements make reference to the detergents ingredient database ist (DID ist), which is described in more detai in Appendix 2. The DID ist contains the most commony used ingredients in aundry, dishwasher and ceaning detergents. Guideines are provided for substances not incuded in the DID-ist (DID-ist part B) as how to cacuate or extrapoate reevant data. The DID-ist can be found on the webpages of the rdic Ecoabeing secretariats. The DID-ist adopted in January 2007, or ater version, sha be used for cacuating environmenta requirements. Information on requirements pertinent to anaysis aboratories can be found in Appendix 2. rdic Ecoabeing of ceaning products (23)

The weight utiity ratio (gram packaging/itre soution) of the primary packaging is as foows: WUR RTU = [(W i + U i ) / (D i * t i )] gram packaging / itre in-use soution WUR CONCENTRATED = [(W i + U i / (D i * t i )] 1.20 gram packaging / itre in-use soution W i = Weight of the primary packaging component (i) in grams incuding cap, dispenser or simiar + any refis (sod per origina botte) in grams incuding cap, dispenser or simiar. U i = weight (g) of non-recyced (virgin) materia in packaging component (i) in gram. If the proportion of recyced materia in the packaging component is 0%, N i = W i. Packaging is considered postconsumer recyced if the raw materias are recovered from distribution and/or foowing use by consumers. If the raw materia is industria waste from the materia or packaging manufacturer s own production, the materia is not considered postconsumer recyced. D i = Number of doses in the primary packaging component (i), For ready to use products, Di = product voume (in itres). If a primary packaging component is packed with a refi D is the sum of the functiona doses in both packaging (such as W is sum of the weight of both packaging (see description of W)). t i = Reuse factor. I.e. the number of times that the packaging component (i) is reused (by sae of refis). t = 1 if the packaging is not reused for the same function (disposabe packaging). t > 1 may ony be used if supported by documentation demonstrating that the packaging is reused for the same function.

26 3 Acute aquatic toxicity Acute aquatic toxicity is tested with the aid of test methods s. 201, 202 and 203 in OECD guideines for testing of chemicas (ISBN ) or equivaent test methods. 4 Bioaccumuation A substance is considered bioaccumuating if tested for bioaccumuation on fish according to method OECD 305 A-E and its bioconcentration factor (BCF) is > 500. If no BCF vaue has been determined, a substance is considered bioaccumuating if its ogk ow vaue 4.0 according to method 107, 117 or 123 in the OECD Guideines for the Testing of Chemicas (ISBN ) or equivaent method, uness proven otherwise. If the maximum measured BCF 500, the substance is not considered bioaccumuating even if ogk ow 4.0. OECDs test method 107 cannot be used for surface-active substances, which are both fat and water soube. Based on current knowedge, for such substances it must be shown to a high degree of certainty that the substance itsef and its decomposition products do not pose a ong-term hazard to aquatic organisms. Data modes (such as BIOWIN) are permitted but if the resuts of an approximation are cose to the set imit vaues or if rdic Ecoabeing hods contradictory information, more reiabe information is required. 5 Aerobic biodegradabiity Test methods 301 (A to F) or 310 in the OECD Guideines for the Testing of Chemicas (ISBN ) shoud be used to test aerobic biodegradabiity. Other scientificay accepted test methods may aso be used. The test resuts of such equivaent methods must be evauated by an independent body. 6 Anaerobic biodegradabiity, Anaerobic degradabiity can be tested in accordance with ISO 11734, ECETOC 28 (June 1988) or some other scientificay approved method. In order for a substance to be regarded as anaerobicay degradabe in the ISO test, a minimum of 60% degradabiity under anaerobic conditions is required. Substances that are not surfactants and are not found on the DID-ist, may be exempted from the anaerobic degradabiity requirements if they are aerobicay degradabe and not toxic to aquatic organisms (LC50/EC50/IC50>10 mg/), and if any of the foowing criteria are fufied: readiy degradabe aerobicay and have ow adsorption (A<25 %) or readiy degradabe aerobicay and have high desorption (D>25 %) or readiy degradabe aerobicay and are not potentiay bioaccumuabe Adsorption/desorption is determined using method 106 in OECD Guideines or ISO CD Water quaity Adsorption of substances on activated sudge. rdic Ecoabeing of ceaning products 5.2

The ist contains information on the toxicity and biodegradabiity of substances that may be used in chemica/technica products. The DID ist does not show which substances can be used in ecoabeed products. The DID ist cannot be used to document the toxicity of individua substances for cassification purposes. For this purpose, MSDS, pertinent iterature and information from the primary producer sha be used. The DID ist is avaiabe from the ecoabeing body or via the reevant nationa rdic Ecoabeing website (see page 2 for addresses). The ist can aso be found at: If an ingredient is not found on the DID ist, the factors sha be set as described in part B of the DID ist: pdf/did_ist/didist_part_b_en.pdf Vaid to these criteria is the DID ist dated January 2007 or ater. To cacuated CDV in R11, a worksheet is avaiabe from rdic Ecoabeing and can be downoaded from the Swedish and Danish Web site maerke=svanen&produktgruppe=25 If no data for chronic toxicity are avaiabe, acute data and the associated safety factor can be used to estimate the chronic toxicity factor. 8 Chaenge test To avoid the unnecessary use of preservatives and to ensure that the quantity of preservatives is sufficient, a requirement is set regarding the quantity of preservatives in reation to the voume of the product. This is documented using a chaenge test or equivaent and sha be performed during the deveopment of the product. Chaenge test designates a group of tests used to determine the correct/ necessary concentration of preservatives in products. Test sampes are prepared with different concentrations of preservatives as we as a contro without preservatives. A mixture of bacteria, yeasts and mouds are added to the sampes which are tested for growth after seven days. This continues for a minimum of 28 days (some tests require a minimum of six weeks). The sampe with the owest concentration of preservatives that does not exhibit microbia growth has the correct/optimum concentration of preservatives. Different manufacturers and suppiers of preservatives use different chaenge tests/methods to determine the correct concentration of preservative.

43 Appendix 6 Laboratory test This appendix describes a proposa for a aboratory test. Other we-described and we-documented tests may aso be used. If some other test than the test described beow is used, the test must be approved in advance by rdic Ecoabeing. The purpose of the aboratory test is to determine whether the test product produces a resut that is better than or as good as a reference product*, and that the test product does harm the surfaces that it is marketed for use on. *Reference product refers to an equivaent product within the same category and designed for the same area of use. For exampe, a professiona WC ceaner sha be tested against another professiona WC ceaner and a consumer kitchen ceaner tested against a second consumer kitchen ceaner. Proposa for a aboratory test The test institute must fufi these framework requirements so that the test provides a reiabe resut. Questions 1 and 2 sha be answered by the appicant. Reference product The test product and comparative reference product sha be tested in the same way. Both products sha beong to the same category (professiona/consumer and RTU/concentrated) and designed for the same area of use (WC, kitchen, sanitary, a-purpose, gass, etc.). Refer to the section What products are eigibe for a rdic Ecoabe. Dosage The owest specified dosage for norma soi of the test product and the reference product respectivey sha be used for the performance test. Water test A water test sha be performed using the same quantity of water as in the other tests. Data from the water test sha be coated together the other test data. The test and reference product must both perform better than water aone. Soi The soiing used for each test must be reevant to the product s intended area of use. The fat-removing and de-scaing performance of sanitary and WC ceaners sha be tested. The fat-removing performance of a-purpose ceaner and kitchen ceaner sha be tested. The performance of gass and window ceaner sha be tested regarding fat remova (fingerprints) and particuate matter. Requirements for test aboratories The requirements stipuated for test aboratories are presented in Appendix 2. rdic Ecoabeing of ceaning products 5.2

44 Requirements 1. Dose The dose that must be used is the owest recommended dose for the product and the recommended dose for the comparative product for norma sois/norma use. ( State the dose of the product and of the comparative product. 2. The comparative product The comparative product must be recenty purchased and must be a product intended for the same area of use (kitchen, sanitary, window) and beong to the same product category (professiona, consument, RTU) as the product. ( Answer the foowing: a) How ong has the comparative product been on the market? b) What areas of appication do the product and the comparative product have in common? c) Why was this product in particuar chosen as the comparative product? 3. Surfaces The surfaces on which the products are tested must be reevant to the area of use in respect of which the product is marketed. ( Answer the foowing: a) What type of surface was used in the test? b) Why is this surface reevant? c) Is the product gente on this type of surface? 4. Soi The soi mixture must be reevant to the product s intended area of use according to the foowing tabe. The soi mixture must be as foows: reevant to the area of use of the product homogenous based on we-described and internationay avaiabe substances.

45 5. Method of ceaning The method of ceaning sha be reevant to the product type. The test sha be performed for the soi types specified in Tabe 1 that are reevant to the product s area of use. De-scaing performance can be determined by gravimetric anaysis. Fat-removing performance is determined by refectance The remova of particuate can be determined by gravimetric anaysis or refectance. ( Describe the method of ceaning and how this method is reevant. 6. Description of the test The same number of repetitions sha be performed for the test product, reference product and water (at east 10 per product). One batch of soi that is sufficient to a tests sha be used. The soi sha be appied to at east 30 test pieces of a reevant materia. Refer to item 3 Surfaces. Foowing this, the tests sha be performed using the test product, reference product and water. The test sha be performed using a random seection of soied test pieces, i.e. at east 10 pieces sha be chosen at random for the test product, the same number for the reference product and the same number for the water test. The refectance of a pates must be measured before the soi is appied, after the soi has been appied and after washing. Refectance can aso be determined visuay if it is ceary expained how this assessment is conducted in a reproducibe manner. Effectiveness, EFF, is cacuated separatey for each pate and recorded in a tabe. ( Describe how soiing, washing and measurement/detection were performed. ( Specify raw data from the weighing and vaues from the refectance measurements. 7. Cacuation of the wash effectiveness index (EFF) The wash effectiveness index is cacuated using the foowing formua: EFF = (Rc - Rb) / (Ra - Rb) Ra = Refectance before soiing (i.e. on a cean pate) Rb = Refectance after soiing Rc = Refectance after washing This is performed for each individua parae of the product, the reference product and water. The foowing must aso be cacuated: EFFp = Average EFF vaue for the product undergoing testing EFFr = Average EFF vaue for the reference product EFFw = Average EFF vaue for water Requirement eve For sanitary ceaning products, both cacium and fat-removing effects must be documented. Fat and cacium-removing effects must compy with the foowing requirements (7.1 a or 7.1.b) rdic Ecoabeing of ceaning products 5.2

46 In the case of a-purpose ceaners and ceaning products for kitchens, it wi ony be necessary to determine the fat-removing effect.
