Overview
This Technical Specification sets requirements for bio-based surfactants in terms of properties, limits, application classes and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based surfactants as to whether they: - are fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties; - comply with the requirements regarding the health, safety and environment which apply to general surfactants; - are derived from a certain minimum percentage of biomass; and - comply with at least similar sustainability criteria as comparable (non-bio-based) surfactants. The criteria of the regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) also apply to bio-based surfactants. This document (CEN/TS 17035:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 276 "Surface active agents", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-62 AA "Analytik von Tensiden" ("Analytics of surfactants") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
