Green Seal Expands Certification for Most Cleaning Products
Green Seal has announced a new Standard for Specialty Cleaning Products, GS-53, expected to be released in August. With this introduction, Green Seal has significantly expanded the products they can certify, including products that are routinely used for cleaning.
According to Green Seal reports, stakeholders demanded more certified cleaners such as dish detergents, graffiti removers, motor vehicle cleaners and polishes, deck and outdoor furniture cleaners, order removers, and metal cleansers, among others. Purchasers voiced a need for guidance in what requirements to look for in specifying disinfectants and sanitizers. GS-53 for Institutional and Industrial Cleaners answers those demands with comprehensive requirements for effective cleaners that help protect our health and the environment.
The final draft standards is now available for those interested in learning more about the products GS-53 covers. A final release will be available shortly.
Green Seal has also notified cleaning product manufacturers of the opportunity for new certifications and, reportedly, they are preparing to apply as soon as the standard is issued.
