3 What is a rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic product? rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic products are among the east environmentay hazardous products within their category and they fufi both environmenta and heath reated requirements. Requirements are set on chemica cassification and environmenta characteristics, on the use of fragrances and coouring agents, on packaging and on product performance. Products enter the waste water system foowing their use, either directy, such as soaps, shampoo and toothpaste, or indirecty through washing, such as otions, creams, hair stying products and make-up. Properties such as biodegradabiity, bioaccumuation and toxicity to aquatic organisms are therefore highy reevant to a ingredients. Regarding shampoo and soap, this appies in particuar to surfactants which are the most important substances in the products from the point of view of quantities and function. Cosmetic products come into direct contact with the body. They shoud therefore contain as few irritating, sensitising or in any other way harmfu ingredients and impurities as possibe. The heath requirements focus on aergies and other possibe serious effects. This is achieved by imposing requirements on the properties of individua substances and the imitation of specific substances. rdic Ecoabeing of cosmetic products guarantees, among other things, that: Minima amounts of environmentay hazardous substances are contained in the products. Strict requirements are set in regard to the permissibe eves of biodegradabiity, toxicity and bioaccumuative potentia of a product s constituent substances. Products aimed at chidren are perfume free. Use of packaging materias is reduced. Why choose the rdic Ecoabe? Products may carry the rdic Ecoabeing trademark for marketing purposes. The rdic Ecoabe is a very we-known and we-reputed trademark in the rdic region. rdic Ecoabeing is a simpe and cost-effective way of communicating environmenta concerns and commitment to purchasers and consumers. Environmenta issues are compex. It can take a ong time and extensive resources to gain an understanding of a specific area. rdic Ecoabeing faciitates this process. The rdic Ecoabe not ony covers environmenta issues but aso quaity requirements, since environmenta and quaity concerns often go hand in hand. This means that a rdic Ecoabe icence can aso be seen as a mark of quaity. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products (25)

4 Which cosmetic products may carry the rdic Ecoabe? A cosmetic products that are encompassed by Counci Directive 76/768/EEC on cosmetics with subsequent amendments and adaptations (see Artice 1), and Cosmetics Reguation 1223/2009/EG for exampe skin care products, hair care products, decorative cosmetics, perfumes and sanitary products, can be rdic Ecoabeed. Rinse-off products for animas, which are not covered by the cosmetics directive, are eigibe for rdic Ecoabeing. Products within the remit of the Biocida Products Directive (Directive 98/8/EC) can not be rdic Ecoabeed. How to appy The appicant sha refer to the Reguations for the rdic Ecoabeing of products and the ecoabeing requirements in this document. Each requirement is marked with the etter R (requirement) and a number. To be awarded the rdic Ecoabe, a genera requirements and appicabe product-specific requirements in this document must be fufied. Icons in the text The text describes how the appicant sha demonstrate fufiment of each requirement. There are aso icons in the text to make this cearer. These icons are: ( Encose Requirement checked on site Appication Appications sha be made to rdic Ecoabeing in the country in which the cosmetic product is to be sod or in which the appicant keeps its base of operations, see the address ist on page 2. Appications consist in an appication form and documentation of compiance (specified in the requirements). Further information and assistance may be avaiabe. Visit the Web site of the reevant nationa ecoabeing body for more information. Saes in other rdic countries Registering a icence in another rdic country aows the rdic Ecoabe to be used in a arger market. The foowing must be submitted to rdic Ecoabeing: Appication form for registration or origina rdic Ecoabe appication*. Copy of icence. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products (25)

Any marketing materia for the country of registration. The suppier/distributor in the country of registration, when other than the icensee. *If the appicant states during the initia appication that they intend to register the product in other rdic countries, it is not necessary to submit additiona materia (see above) at registration. In such cases, rdic Ecoabeing coates and forwards the documentation to the country or countries in question. Registration is free of charge but an annua fee sha be paid in accordance with the nationa reguations. On-site inspection During the appication process, rdic Ecoabeing normay performs an onsite inspection to ensure adherence to the requirements. For this inspection, data used for cacuations, origina copies of submitted certificates, ists of ingredients, test records, purchase statistics, and simiar documents that support the appication must be avaiabe for examination. Costs An appication fee is charged to companies appying for a icence. There is an additiona annua fee based on the turnover of the rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic product. Enquiries Pease contact rdic Ecoabeing if you have any queries or require further information. See page 2 for addresses. What are the requirements of the rdic Ecoabe?

6 1 Environmenta and heath requirements The requirements in this section appy to a constituent substances uness specified otherwise. The term constituent substance refers to a substances in the product, incuding additives in the ingredients (such as preservatives and stabiisers), with the exception of impurities from primary production. Impurity refers to residues from primary production which may be found in rinse-off that are at concentrations beow 0.01% (100 ppm) and in eave-on products at concentrations beow 0.001% (10 ppm), provided the impurity has not been activey added and/or added for a particuar purpose. Impurities of over 1.0% concentration in the raw materia/ingredient are, however, regarded as constituent substances. Substances known to be degradation products of the constituent substances are aso themseves considered to be constituent substances. 1.1 Genera requirements (appicabe to a products) A requirements aid out in section 1.1 must be met except for requirements R8-10, where differentiated requirements in regard of products rinsed in water (R8-9) versus other cosmetic products (R10) are set. Are the requirements met? R1 Decaration of content The exact formuation for the product sha be submitted to rdic Ecoabeing.

R47 Take-back system Reevant nationa reguations, egisation and/or agreements within the sector regarding the recycing systems for products and packaging sha be met in the rdic countries in which the rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic product is marketed. In Finand this may be documented with proof of membership of PYR (Environmenta Register of Packaging), in Sweden through REPA, and in rway documentation must be provided by Grønt Punkt. equivaent organisation currenty exists in Denmark. ( A decaration from the appicant in respect of adherence to existing recycing/take-back agreements, or other documentation demonstrating fufiment of the requirement, may aso be required. See Appendix 3. R48 Marketing The requirement is removed as decided by the Board of Directors 17 vember Marketing The rdic Ecoabe is a very we-known and we-reputed trademark in the rdic region. A rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic product may be marketed using the rdic Ecoabe so ong as the associated icence is vaid. The abe must be positioned so that there is no doubt as to what the abe refers and so that it is cear that it is the cosmetic product that is ecoabeed.

23 Foow-up inspections rdic Ecoabeing may decide to check whether the cosmetic product fufis rdic Ecoabe requirements during the icence period. This may invove a site visit, random samping or simiar test. The icence may be revoked if it is evident that the rdic Ecoabeed cosmetic product does not meet the requirements. Random sampes may aso be taken from trade sources and anaysed by an independent aboratory. If the requirements are not met, rdic Ecoabeing may charge the anaysis costs to the icensee. How ong is a icence vaid? rdic Ecoabeing adopted the criteria for cosmetic products on 12 October These criteria remain vaid unti 31 December At the Secretariat Managers meeting on 16 February 2011 rdic Ecoabeing decided to change the requirements R6 Nanomaterias/-partices and R21 Cassification of enzymes. The new version is 2.1. At the Secretariat Managers meeting on 13 September 2011 rdic Ecoabeing decided on a change in requirement R7 Surfactants. The new version is caed 2.2. The rdic Ecoabeing Board on 15 December 2011 decided on changes on R25, R26, R27, R28, R29 and R30. The change in R25 was a re-phrasing of the documentation requirements making them more readabe. The change in R26 was to aow a rinse-off products for animas to be incuded in the product group. The changes in R27-R30 were adjustments to make it possibe for decorative cosmetic products to appy for an Ecoabe. Furthermore some corrections were made to appendix 3 and 4. The new version is 2.3. At the secretariat managers meeting on 10 May 2012 rdic Ecoabeing decided to change the requirements R12 Metas and R27 Quantity of packaging. The change of R12 means that it is not required any additiona documentation for coouring agents that meets the criteria for purity in food stuffs. The change of R27 meets the use of recyced materias in packaging materias to decorative cosmetics the same way as other products. The new version is 2.4. On 12 December 2012 the rdic Ecoabeing Board adopted a change in R3. The new version is 2.5. At the secretariat managers meeting on 8 February 2013 rdic Ecoabeing decided to change the requirement R4 SCCS Opinions. The change of R4 means that SCCS Opinion is exempted the requirement with exception of certain specific substances. The new version is 2.6. At the secretariat managers meeting on 25 September 2013, rdic Ecoabeing decided to change requirement R37 regarding the performance test to make it possibe to document tests without foowing the Coipa guideines (Cosmetics Europe). To ensure that reports not foowing Cosmetics Europe s guideines are of good quaity a new appendix has been added to give information regarding reports (appendix 8). The critera was aso proonged with 18 months and the new version is caed 2.7 and is vaid unti 30 June rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products (25)

24 The rdic Ecoabeing board decided on 11 December 2013, that micropastics shoud be added to the ist prohibited substances in the products in requirement 5 (R5). The new version is caed 2.8. At the secretariat managers meeting on 19 February 2014 rdic Ecoabeing decided to change R14 to make it cearer that no fragrance substances can be added to infant, baby and chid products. At the same time appendix 8 was updated with information on how the producer can verify caims such as mid. The new version is caed 2.9. rdic Ecoabeing s Criteria Group decided on 14 Apri 2015 to proong the criteria with 12 months. On 17 vember 2014 the Board of Directors decided to remove requirement R48 Marketing. The new version is caed 2.10 and is vaid unti 30 June An editoria change was made on 4 June 2015 in R6 Nanomaterias/-partices. An ecoabe icence is vaid providing the criteria are fufied and unti the criteria expire. The vaidity period of the criteria may be extended or adjusted, in which case the icence is automaticay extended and the icensee informed. Revised criteria sha be pubished at east one year prior to the expiry of the present criteria. The icensee is then offered the opportunity to renew their icence. If a ist or document to which these criteria refer (SCCS opinions under R4 and R24 and endocrine disrupters under R5) are changed during the vaidity period of a icence, a standard transition period of three months is aowed from the pubication of the new ist/document in which to make the changes/reformuation necessary for the product to meet the modified requirements. rdic Ecoabeing may decide to adjust the ength of this transition period, and wi in such a case inform icensees and appicants. It shoud be noted that the icence hoder is aways responsibe for ensuring that the product is in compiance with the terms of the requirements. New criteria The foowing areas wi, among others, be evauated in future criteria: Possibiity to set obigatory requirements in respect of sustainabiity and sourcing of raw materias from renewabe sources certified raw materias and certified organic raw materias Limits on degradabe substances and CDV, as we as a separating of the requirements in respect of degradabiity and toxicity.

The appicant s own anaysis aboratory/test procedure may be approved for anaysis and testing if: the anayses and tests are monitored by the authorities, or if the manufacturer has a quaity management system encompassing samping and anaysis and has been certified to ISO 9001 or ISO 9002, or the manufacturer can demonstrate that there is agreement between initia anaysis/testing, performed as a parae anaysis/test by an accredited aboratory, and the manufacturer s own aboratory and that the manufacturer takes sampes in accordance with a predetermined samping programme. 2 Ecotoxicoogica test methods Internationa test methods (OECD Guideines for the Testing of Chemicas, ISBN ) or simiar methods must be used. If equivaent methods are used, these must be evauated by an independent body to ensure that the test resuts are equivaent. The test methods to be used are specified beow. The methods can be found at: p15_about.htm?jnissn= x 3 Acute/chronic aquatic toxicity Use test methods 201, 202 and 203* in the OECD Guideines for the Testing of Chemicas (ISBN ), or equivaent method to test aquatic acute toxicity. Test methods 210*, 211, 215*, 229* from the OECD guideines for testing of chemicas, or other equivaent testing methods, are used to test chronic aquatic toxicity. * The European Commission has prohibited anima testing for ingredients in cosmetic products as of March However, for the purposes of determining aquatic toxicity the prohibition extends ony to fish, invertebrates are not covered by this ban on anima testing. Accordingy, OECD test guideines 203 (acute toxicity fish), 210, 215 and 229 (chronic toxicity fish) may no onger be used to document acute or chronic toxicity. Resuts of acute/chronic toxicity tests on fish that were performed prior to March 2009 may continue to be used. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2 p. 1 (3)

28 4 Bioaccumuation A substance is considered bioaccumuating if tested for bioaccumuation on fish according to method OECD 305 AE and its highest measured bioconcentration factor (BCF)* is 500. If no BCF vaue has been determined, a substance is considered bioaccumuating if its ogk ow vaue is 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 is < 500, the substance is not considered bioaccumuating even if its ogk ow vaue is 4.0. However, a substance is considered bioaccumuating with a ogk ow vaue at < 4.0 if the maximum measured BCF is 500. OECD test method 107 cannot be used for surface-active substances that 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 Computer 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. * The European Commission has prohibited anima testing for ingredients in cosmetic products as of March Accordingy, OECD test guideine 305 (bioconcentration factor) may no onger be used to document bioaccumuation. Resuts acquired prior to March 2009 may continue to be used. 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 degradabiity Anaerobic degradabiity is tested with the aid of ISO 11734, OECD 311, ECOTOC. 28 (June 1988) or equivaent test methods. For a substance to be considered to biodegrade anaerobicay, a mineraisation of >60% under anaerobic conditions after 56 days is required (ECETOC no. 28, June 1988), 60 days (ISO 11734) and 60 days (OECD 311). Substances, other than surfactants, that are not found on the DID ist may be exempted from the requirement on anaerobic biodegradabiity if the substance is not toxic for aquatic organisms (E/LC 50 > 10 mg/), and is readiy aerobicay degradabe and simutaneousy: dispays ow absorption properties (A < 25%), or dispays high desorption properties(d > 25%), or is not bioaccumuative. Test method 106 in the OECD Guideines or ISO CD Water quaity Adsorption of substances on activated sudge is used to estabish adsorption/desorption vaues. For bioaccumuation see item 4 above. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2 p. 2 (3)

29 7 Inherent biodegradabiity Test method 302 (A to C) or 310 in the OECD Guideines for the Testing of Chemicas (ISBN ) shoud be used to test inherent biodegradabiity. For a constituent substance to be considered inherenty biodegradabe a mineraisation of >70% after 28 days is required (>70% BOD/DOC/COD reduction). Other scientificay accepted test methods may aso be used. The test resuts of such equivaent methods must be evauated by an independent body. 8 Potentia for endocrine disruption A potentia endocrine disrupter is an exogenous substance or mixture that aters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequenty causes adverse heath effects in an intact organism, or its progeny, or (sub)popuations. rdic Ecoabeing incudes a substances that the European Commission considers potentia endocrine disrupters (casses 1, 2 and 3b). Category 1 - evidence of endocrine disrupting activity in at east one species using intact animas ; Category 2 - at east some in vitro evidence of bioogica activity reated to endocrine disruption ; Category 3b - no data avaiabe ). In case the European Commission ists are amended, the atest updated reports sha appy. The atest reports are avaiabe to be viewed at and the Access database, in which a evauated substances are isted, is avaiabe for downoad at ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicas/endocrine/strategy/index_en.htm. 9 DID ist The DID ist is common to the European ecoabe and rdic Ecoabeing. The ist has been estabished in coaboration with stakehoders from consumer organisations, environmenta bodies and industry. The ist contains information on the toxicity and degradabiity 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 is aso avaiabe at the website for EU ecoabeing If the substance is not isted on the DID ist, the method defined in section B of the DID ist is to be used. ecoabeed_products/categories/pdf/did_ist/didist_part_b_en.pdf Vaid to these criteria is the DID ist dated January 2007 or ater. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2 p. 3 (3)

30 Appendix 3 Decaration from the cosmetic product producer For use in appications for the rdic Ecoabe icence for cosmetic products Product name: Type of product: The term constituent substance refers to a substances in the product, incuding additives in the ingredients (such as preservatives and stabiisers) but does not incude impurities from primary production. Impurity refers to residues from primary production which may be found in rinse-off products at concentrations beow 0.01% (100 ppm) and in eave-on products at concentrations beow 0.001% (10 ppm), provided the impurity has not been activey added and/or added for a particuar purpose. Impurities of over 1.0% concentration in the primary product are, however, regarded as constituent substances.

36 Appendix 7 Cacuations 1 CDV CDV(chronic) = Σ(DFi x quantity (mg) of substance i per g AI/TFi (chronic)) DFi = degradation factor for substance i, as specified by the DID ist TFi = chronic toxicity factor for substance i, as specified by the DID ist The cacuation of CDV sha be performed for the highest specified in-use soution (g/ soution). DF and TF sha where possibe be taken from the DID ist dated January 2007 or ater. If TFchronic is unavaiabe TFacute may be used. If an ingredient is not found on the DID ist, the factors sha be set as foows: DF (see aso Part B of the DID ist): 0.05 for organic substances that are readiy biodegradabe according to Appendix for organic substances that are readiy biodegradabe according to Appendix 2 but for which the 10-day window is not met (excuding surfactants). 0.5 for organic substances that are inherenty biodegradabe according to Appendix for persistent organic substances. TF is thus determined in the foowing manner (see aso Part B of the DID ist): TF = toxicity/sf, Where the eve of toxicity is set at the owest estabished ong-term NOEC vaue (no observed effects concentration) or the owest estabished acute EC/LC 50 vaue. If no ong-term NOEC vaue is avaiabe the acute vaue and higher safety factor (SF) are to be used. The safety factor (SF) is estabished according to the foowing: SF chronic (see Part B of the DID ist for further detais): 10 Substance with three ong-term NOEC from at east three species representing three trophic eves. 50 Substance with two ong-term NOEC from at east two species representing two trophic eves. 100 Substances with one ong-term NOEC (fish or crustaceans) Substances with acute toxicity data for each of three trophic eves Substances with acute toxicity data for two trophic eves Substances with acute toxicity data for ony one trophic eve. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2 p. 1 (3)

37 2 Quantity of packaging The cacuation for the quantity of packaging compares the quantity of packaging materia with the content using the foowing formua: Where mf i = materia factors for various types of materia are assigned to the foowing four groups: mf gass = 0.2 mf paper/cardboard = 0.6 mf pastic aminate = 1.1 mf other materias = 1.0 Weight materia i = weight of the packaging unit (inc. abe and info sheet) in grams. rf i = fraction of materia recyced foowing consumer use. For exampe, if 50% of the pastic in the packaging is sourced from post-consumer recaimed materia, rf pastic is 0.5. rf i is aways between 0 (0% post-consumer recaimed materia) and 1 (100% post-consumer recaimed materia). Weight pump = weight of pump (if appicabe) in grams. t = reuse factor n = natura ogarithm Vo product = voume of the product in m Packaging materia is considered postconsumer recyced if the raw materias are recovered foowing use by consumers. If the raw materia is industria waste from the materia producers own production or distribution chain, the materia is not considered postconsumer recyced. The reuse factor specifies how many times the packaging is reused. If the packaging is reused as packaging, the reuse factor is set at 2. A higher figure may be used if documented evidence in support of this caim is suppied. If the packaging is reused as materia, the reuse factor is 1.

39 Appendix 8 Minimum requirements for the content in test reports as documentation of performance/quaity The product group covers a ot of different products and it is therefore not possibe to, in detai, write what a test report is supposed to ook ike. This appendix describes the minimum information required in a test report. The test can be performed as a auser test or as a aboratory test, see beow what information that is required for each test. Test reports foowing the Coipa guideines Guideine for Efficacy Evauation of Cosmetic Products (Cosmetics Europe) are aways considered to fufi the requirement on what information that is needed in a report. For existing products, that have been on the market for a ong time period, are considered aready consumer tested by the consumers that have bought the product. Saes numbers can then be used as documentation for the primary function, see beow under part 3 Saes numbers. 1. Consumer test Information required in the test report When was the test performed? Who performed the test? Who ordered the test? Which products were tested? How were the testpersons chosen? How many testpersons participated in the test? What parameters/properties were tested? Why were they chosen? Primary function Secondary function Caim Test resuts Concusions of the test te that the test sha be a consumertest with at east 10 independent testpersons. The testpersons sha be satisfied with the product perfomance/ quaity for each test parameter/property. It is therefore important to describe why each testing parameter has been chosen for the test. Some properties (for exampe scent) may have been incuded in the test by other reasons than performance. The test needs to have a concusion where ut is made cear what the resuts were for each tested parameter/property. Caims saying that the product is mid/gente and simiar can aso be documented if the product fufis the foowing three requirements: does not contain fragrance contains < 10% surfactants abeed with R41 have a ph-vaue between 4 and 8 rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2

40 2. Laboratory test Information required in the test report When was the test performed? Who performed the test? Who ordered the test? Which products were tested? How was the test method chosen and how can it be used to document the product s performance/quaity? What parameters/properties were tested? Why were they chosen? Primary function Secondary function Caim Test resuts Concusions of the test te that the test needs to have a concusion where it is made cear how the resuts for each tested parameter/property document the performance/ property. 3. Saes numbers Information required in the test report For existing products, that have been on the market for a ong time period, are considered aready consumer tested by the consumers that have bought the product. Saes numbers can then be used as documentation for the primary function if the product has been on the market without changes in the recipe according to the product that is about to get a rdic Ecoabeing icense. What time period is covered by saes of the product? Are the saes numbers in voume, number of products or in price? Concusions of the data te that the saes must at east have been ongoing for 2 years. The saes must be increasing or stabe to be used as documentation for the primary performance. Saesnumbers can ony be used as documentation of the primary finction and anot as documention of different caims. A concusion is required for the saes numbers. It has to be cear on how the saes numbers document the primary performance/quaity. If there are fuctuations in the saes numbers they need to be satisfactory expained. rdic Ecoabeing of Cosmetic products - 2
