Labelling
If the requirement is verified with a label, check that there is a valid license for the product in question. This can be controlled here: Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Good Environmental Choice and EU Ecolabel.
Product's declaration of contents
Check that the word perfume is not present. Also check that fragrances subject to declaration according to the Detergent and Cleaning Products Regulation are not included.
For products that are not covered by the Detergent and Cleaning Products Regulation, for example products that do not have a cleaning effect, check that the word perfume is not present.
Information about the criterion
Please note that this requirement cannot be used in combination with requirement-id 10585:1 Perfume.
Note that all product types are not available as perfume-free, such as toilet blocks. When procuring these product types, they must be exempted from the requirement. State that the requirement for perfume (10585:1) applies to these products instead.
Products covered by the Regulation (EC) 648/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (The Detergent and Cleaning Products Regulation) shall have a declaration of content with composition in weight percent.
