This standard BS EN 17035:2021 Surface active agents. Bio-based surfactants. Requirements and test methods is classified in these ICS categories:
- 71.100.40 Surface active agents
- 13.020.55 Biobased products
This document 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;
-
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) [13] also apply to bio-based surfactants.
EN 16575 defines the term “ bio-based” as derived from biomass and clarifies that “bio-based” does not imply “biodegradable”. In addition, “biodegradable” does not necessarily imply the use of “bio-based” material.
