Accreditations
Some of our products are accredited with the EU Eco Label,
known as the 'Flower'.
The Flower is the premier European award for the manufacture of ecological products. It is
the European-wide symbol for products that satisfy stringent controls with respect to their
effects on the environment and people. All products bearing the Flower have been checked
by independent bodies to ensure they comply with strict ecological and performance criteria.
The Flower is administered in the UK by the Defra, supported by the European Commission
and all members states of the EU. The accreditation board includes representatives
from industry, environmental protection groups and consumer organisations.
The Delphis range are the first cleaning products manufactured
in the UK to be accredited with the Flower.
Our products also comply with the EU Detergents Regulation 648/2004 and the European
Biocidal Products Directive which comes into force in 2008. This legislation comes under the
umbrella of the REACH Agreement which was set up by the EU to control and determine
hazards associated with chemicals coming into, or manufactured, in the EU. It is designed to
reduce the effect chemicals have on the environment, our health and our way of life.
This legislation will dramatically affect the future of the cleaning industry. It will see the
majority of chemicals currently used either banned or their use strictly monitored.
Our products comply with all the current and forthcoming legislation, giving you the
edge over your competitors.
The new range of environment-and-employee friendly products are revolutionising the cleaning process. Developed from plant-based organic compounds, represents a breakthrough in the cleaning technology – high power, non-toxic, non harmful, non-hazardous, totally biodegradable and extremely cost effective.
The range can save money by replacing multiple, hazardous chemical cleaners with more effective Delphis products that will improve health & safety (for employees and customers), eliminate storage space and help the environment.
The EU eco label is unique and is only granted to products that are manufactured using sustainable, reusable products and methods in the manufacturing process. EU Eco-Label certification is only granted after each product is blind tested against four comparable leading brands to prove their performance is equivalent to or better than the established brands.
The ‘Flower’ is the premier European Environmental award and is granted after independent checks against strict ecological and performance criteria.
Manufacturing Assessment.
‘Cradle to Grave’. Each element is checked against their individual environmental responsibility; Chemical ingredients, Transportation, Packaging, Labeling.
Performance Assessment.
Each applicant is tested against 5 of the leading products in it’s specific category and needs to match all 5 with an 85% success rate. Delphis achieved a 92% average pass rate.
The Flower is administered in the UK by Defra, supported by the European Commission and all 27 member states of the EU. The Eco labeling board includes representatives from industry, environmental protection groups and consumer organisations.
