Our country has to make legal arrangements in order to join the European Union. Regulations have become essential to ensure compliance with the European Union. The eco-label system is used on these regulations. Countries in the European Union group started to be built in 1992. In line with these situations, studies have begun without slowing down. Within the scope of the regulation, this duty was given to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. The Environment Label Branch was established by the ministry on this issue.
These studies have not been completed by our country yet. The label offered by the European Union cannot be used because it has not been completed. This label is the flower logo. ECOMARK ECOmark certification has emerged considering the conditions in our country since its establishment. When demanding these standards, the ECOmark label can be used. Our institution is authorized by a foreign accreditation. Cleaning products are among the products identified by the European Union. The scope of ECOmark standard cleaning products containing chemicals is important. The ECOmark certification area is divided into five.
These categories are as follows;
General cleaners
Within the scope of the product group, it is used for daily cleaning purposes such as floors or walls. There are products used in homes, offices, in short, all living spaces. It is included in the products used in window cleaning. The cleaners we are talking about are suitable for use in all areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Dishwasher products
Dishwashing detergents and rinsing cleaning products used in dishwashers almost all houses are included in this category. Commercial dishwashing detergents have also begun to enter this area.
Laundry detergent products
These products are classified as powder, liquid and other varieties among themselves. Detergent types used in laundry shops, which have become indispensable for the textile industry, are also included in this group. However, detergents used in carpet or furniture cleaning are not in this group.
Personal cleaning products
In addition to soap, hair cleaners are included in this group. Hair conditioner is also among the products of this group. It is used professionally. Antibacterial products are not included in this group.
Eco Standard
It is a standard realized with the aim of protecting nature. It is the case that products suitable for the environment are preferred as a result of raising awareness in order to protect nature. It is an application that indicates the importance given to nature. This ECOmark, which has been established, has completely adopted the environment as a principle and decided to establish the ECO standard within this scope. Products with the ECOmark label constitute health and environmental service products. It is not compulsory to get a nature label according to ECOmark standards, but this application enables users to turn towards environmentally sensitive products. Having labels on products using the ECOmark label has become a great advantage in terms of competition.
Today, many environmental labels are used not only in European countries but also in many countries. The purpose of the ECOmark standard is a valid issue for products shipped to European Union countries for distribution and consumption.
Medical products used in the field of human health can never be used in the field of animal health and are not allowed without preferring any product contrary to human health. Those who wish to obtain an ECOmark certificate must make a preliminary study after applying. Within the scope of this certification, a detailed evaluation of the product group is carried out in line with various principles and standards along with ISO 14024 environmental labels, declarations. For the products and product groups requesting labels, determinations are made by making decisions about which group the product will be in.
