Additional ecological information: General notes: The surfactant(s) contained in this preparation complies(comply) with the biodegradability criteria as laid down in Regulation (EC) No.648/2004 on detergents. Data to support this assertion are held at the disposal of the competent authorities of the Member States and will be made available to them, at their direct request or at the request of a detergent manufacturer. Water hazard class 2 (German Regulation) (Self-assessment): hazardous for water Do not allow product to reach ground water, water course or sewage system. Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased ph-values. A high ph-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the ph-value is considerably reduced, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
