EU ECOLABEL USER MANUALINDOOR CLEANING SERVICESCommission Decision for the award of the EU Ecolabel for indoor cleaning services (2017)An operator that has been awarded the EU Ecolabel for indoor cleaning services shall not provide otherservices which are not covered by the EU Ecolabel unless the indoor cleaning services covered by theEU Ecolabel are provided by a sub-division, a subsidiary, a branch or a department of theoperator that is clearly distinct from it and keeps separate accounting records. This exception givescertain flexibility to the applicant to organise the company’s cleaning in differentregions/departments/divisions where some of them are ecolabelled and others not. For instance, a singledivision that takes care of hospital cleaning can be ecolabelled even if the other division in the company arenot. A company may also have a separate division for customers with cleaning contracts that exceed acertain value (i.e. x millions). However, all these delimitations within a company are only possible as long theregions/departments/divisions are separate economical profit divisions with their own accounting records.If the company offers both ecolabelled and non-ecollabeled services, it must prove to haveseparate accounts or an adequate accounting code for the activities covered by the Ecollabelledservices, and without prejudice to national accounting standards.The company shall be very clear in its communication about which cleaning service isoffered by the company is ecolabelled.There are accounting programs in the market, but if the company does not work with this kind of accountingprograms, it can provide the accounting system in a simple excel sheet or by opening subaccounts in theirgeneral accounts. It should be enough to create separate codes for the activities involved in the ecollabeledservice, or to classify the activities along sub-account levels. The calculation of the figures referred to the EUEcolabelled services might be performed i.e as a proportion to the overall services, as long as the separateaccounting records can be demonstrated.Any other service provided by that operator that falls outside the scope of this Decision, including otherindoor cleaning services that do not fulfil the requirements set out in this Decision, shall not be covered bythe EU Ecolabel license for indoor cleaning services and shall not be marketed as such.Where an operator that has been awarded the EU Ecolabel for indoor cleaning servicesmakes use of sub-contractors for the provision of such services, these must also hold an EUEcolabel licence for indoor cleaning services.33.1Supporting the Product Assessment and VerificationGeneral requirementsCompetent bodies shall carry out an on-site visit at the applicant's premises and at leastone on-site visit of the cleaning service being provided at a cleaning site before the awardconcession. Random staff interview may be carried out by competent bodies during on-site visits.After being awarded the EU Ecolabel licence, the applicant shall provide periodically to thecompetent body a list of the cleaning sites where they provide EU Ecolabel cleaning services,indicating the first and final day of activity for each site.The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated within each criterion. Where theapplicant is required to provide declarations, documentation, or other evidence to show compliance with thecriteria, these may come from the applicant and/or their supplier(s) and/or their sub-contractor(s).6 P a g e

The competent body may perform follow-up on-site visits at theapplicant's premises or at a cleaning site periodically during the award period.The applicant shall take into account that, as a prerequisite, the services shall meet all applicable legalrequirements of the country or countries in which the “indoor cleaning services” are provided. In particular, thecompany must be operational and registered, as required by national or local laws and its staff are legallyemployed and insured. For this purpose, staff shall have a national legal valid written contract, shall be paidat least the national or regional minimum wage set by collective agreements or, in the absence of collectiveagreements, at least the national or regional minimum wage, and shall have working hours complying withnational law.The applicant shall declare and demonstrate the service’s compliance with those requirements by usingindependent verification or documentary evidence that is without prejudice to the national law on dataprotection (e.g. copy of a written social policy, copies of contracts, statements of employee's registration inthe national insurance system, official documentation/register recording the names and number ofemployees by the local government’s employment inspectorate or agent).In case of any change that could potentially affect the compliance with one or more criteria, the licenseholder shall, in advance of this change, submit the information to the competent body demonstrating that theindoor cleaning service will still meet the affected criterion/a after the change.7 P a g e

ISO type I labels are officially recognised in the EN ISO 14024 type I environmental labellingschemes.The ISO standards family 14020 provides guidance and sets requirements for environmental labels anddeclarations. ISO 14020 sets out general principles that apply not only to labelling schemes but to allenvironmental claims, designed to promote accurate, verifiable and relevant information. ISO distinguishesbetween:oType I labelling: a voluntary, multiple-criteria based, third party program that awards a license whichauthorises the use of environmental labels on products indicating overall environmental preferabilityof a product within a product category based on life cycle considerations;oType II labelling: self-declaratory;oType III labelling: Environmental Product Declarations (providing quantified environmental data of aproduct, based on life cycle assessment, and verified by a qualified third party).ISO 14024 provides the requirements for operating a Type I ecolabelling scheme. This International Standardestablishes the principles and procedures for developing Type I environmental labelling programmes,including the selection of product categories, product environmental criteria and product functioncharacteristics; as well as procedures for assessing and demonstrating compliance and the certificationprocedures for awarding the label. The EU Ecolabel is the Type I ecolabelling scheme managed by the4Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel.10 P a g e
