12.7 Other Adverse Effects

Further Ecological Information:

General Notes: The organic complexing agents contained achieve a DOC elimination degree of 80% (corresponding to No. 406 of Annex "Analysis and Measurement Methods") and thus meet the stricter requirements of Annex 49 of the new Wastewater Ordinance.

The product is free of organically bound halogens (AOX-free).

The surfactant contained in this preparation meets (The surfactants contained in this preparation meet) the conditions for biodegradability as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on detergents. Documentation confirming this is kept available for the competent authorities of the Member States and is provided to them either directly or at the request of a detergent manufacturer.

Do not allow to enter groundwater, water bodies or the sewage system undiluted or in larger quantities. Flushing larger quantities into the sewage system or water bodies can lead to an increase in pH value. A high pH value is harmful to aquatic organisms. When diluted to the application concentration, the pH value is significantly reduced, so that wastewater entering the sewage system after use of the product has low water-endangering properties.
