• Product Criteria Assessment Form

  • Before we begin

  • Thank you for taking the time to apply for the Recognised Ecolabel for commercial, industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaning, hygiene and related products.

    You will require your Whole-of-business Recognised ID. If you do not have this, please contact de.recognised@davorenenvironmental.com.au.

    Depending on your specific answers within the four main sections of the Recognised Ecolabel Standard (General Principles, Environmental, Human Health, Microorganisms), you will be required to upload some supporting documentation. Click here to download the supporting documentation checklist. We recommend preparing these files before starting your application to ensure a smooth submission process.

    If you do not have these documents available while completing the form, you can save your progress and return to the form once you have the relevant documentation ready to upload.

    The Sections within this form are numbered according to the sections of the Recognised Ecolabel Standard. NB Not every section of the Standard has a corresponding section in this questionnaire.

    • Hierarchy of data preferability to demonstrate conformance to Table 2 requirements:
      1. Existing primary experimental test data
        • Annex F provides a list of tests to provide primary experimental data for aquatic toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation.
        • As described in Specific note iii to Table 2, where it is available, whole-product toxicity test data will be considered in preference to primary individual component/ingredient data.
      2. Published data
        • Data published in peer-reviewed literature or databases. A list of example data sources is provided in Annex G.
      3. Modelled data
        • In the absence of published or experimental data, modelled data from the EPA’s Estimation Programs Interface for Windows (EPI Suite™) may be considered. EPI Suite™ interfaces numerous models to provide users with estimates of a chemical's physical/chemical and environmental fate properties. Amongst these, of relevance to sourcing modelled data for ecotoxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation are:
          • BCFBAF™ – estimates bioconcentration factor (BCF) and biotransformation rate (kM)
          • BioHCwin – estimates biodegradation half-life of hydrocarbons
          • BIOWIN™ – estimates aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation probability
          • ECOSAR™ – estimates aquatic toxicity (LD50, LC50)
          • KOWWIN™ – estimates octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow)
    • 6.2.3 Colourants
