Ecolabel Performance Testing

Ecolabel performance testing is important for organizations to demonstrate that their products not only meet certain criteria, including prohibiting certain harmful chemicals, prohibiting animal testing and limiting toxicity and environmental impacts, but also are able to perform as well as other traditional chemical products available in the market.

Yes, Dell Tech provides alternative testing methods that support animal welfare while ensuring regulatory compliance and product safety. We offer validated non-animal approaches aligned with OECD Test Guidelines , 496 (eye irritation),  435 (skin corrosion) and in-vitro dermal irritation. These methods help organizations meet ecolabel standards and demonstrate a commitment to ethical testing practices without compromising scientific integrity.

Your company will benefit from obtaining ecolabel certification for a number of reasons. First, market research shows that more consumers want to purchase household products that are safer for human exposure and the environment.
Additionally, most sourcing and purchasing policies for Municipal, Provincial/State and Federal governments/institutions include provisions for cleaning and maintenance products to meet the ecolabel certification standards of at least one of the major programs.
Finally, major retailers also have sustainability and transparency programs that prioritize shelf space for SKUs that meet widely accepted environmental standards.

While ecolabelling is voluntary, performance testing and certification would be required to support the claims being made.
