Project team: Belmira Neto / Galyna Medyna Project website: http://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/cleaning%20services/index.html

Evidence base: EU Ecolabel criteria

New criteria for Indoor Cleaning Services

Product scope

Provision of routine professional cleaning services, performed indoors in commercial, institutional and other publically accessible buildings as well as domestic residences. Areas where cleaning services are performed may include, but are not limited to, office areas, sanitary facilities, such as toilets and sinks, publically accessible hospital areas, such as for instance, corridors, waiting or break rooms. It shall comprise window cleaning when it is performed on indoor or outdoor glass and window areas that can be accessed without the use of any specialised equipment or machines. This product group shall not comprise disinfection activities or cleaning activities taking place on production sites.

Approach followed for the EU GPP criteria revision

Reflect the EU Ecolabel evidence base

Comprehensive criteria aligned to a large extent with the EU Ecolabel criteria (under development)

Provides a more holistic approach –service provision. Covers a wider range of aspects (e.g. accessories, machinery)

Allows more flexibility to tenderers and reflects cleaning company practices – example cleaning products

Present case: requires companies to request compliance

declarations from cleaning product manufacturers (core), 100%

meeting EU Ecolabel Requirements (comprehensive)

Revised criteria: XYZ% meeting EU Ecolabel requirements, all

other products non-hazardous (verified by provision of SDS)

More comprehensive assessment and verification
