In the Annex to Decision (EU) 2017/1215, in the section headed ‘Assessment and Verification’, in point (b) (Measurement thresholds), in Table 1, the asterisk note (*) is replaced by the following: ‘(*) “no limit” means: regardless of the concentration (analytical limit of detection) for all ingoing substances with the exception of by-products and impurities from raw materials, which can be present up to a concentration of 0,010 % by weight in the final formulation;’.

In the Annex to Decision (EU) 2017/1216, in the section headed ‘Assessment and Verification’, in point (b) (Measurement thresholds), in Table 1, the asterisk note (*) is replaced by the following: ‘(*) “no limit” means: regardless of the concentration (analytical limit of detection) for all ingoing substances with the exception of by-products and impurities from raw materials, which can be present up to a concentration of 0,010 % by weight in the final formulation;’.

‘3 EU Ecolabel licences awarded in accordance with the criteria set out in Decision 2011/383/EU may be used until 30 June 2019.’;

The Annex to Decision (EU) 2017/1218 is amended as follows: (a) in the section headed ‘Assessment and Verification’, in point (b) (Measurement thresholds), in Table 1, the asterisk note (*) is replaced by the following: ‘(*) “no limit” means: regardless of the concentration (analytical limit of detection) for all ingoing substances with the exception of by-products and impurities from raw materials, which can be present up to a concentration of 0,010 % by weight in the final formulation;’; (b) in Criterion 5 (Excluded and restricted substances), in point (b)(ii), Table 3 (Derogated substances) is replaced by the table set out in the Annex to this Decision.

The Annex to Decision (EU) 2017/1219 is amended as follows: (a) in Criterion 1 (‘Toxicity to aquatic organisms’), the last paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘Because of the degradation of certain substances in the wash process, separate rules apply to the following: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) — not to be included in calculation of CDV, peracetic acid — to be included in the calculation as “acetic acid”, ε-phthalimido-peroxy-hexanoic acid (PAP) — to be included in the calculation as ε-phthalimido hexanoic acid (PAC). The values to be used to calculate the CDV[chronic] for ε-phthalimido hexanoic acid (PAC) shall be as follows: DF(i) = 0,05 TF chronic(i) = 0,256 mg/l Aerobic = R Anaerobic = O;’; (b) in the Annex, in the section headed ‘Assessment and Verification’, in point (b) (Measurement thresholds), in Table 1, the asterisk note (*) is replaced by the following: ‘(*) “no limit” means: regardless of the concentration (analytical limit of detection) for all ingoing substances with the exception of by-products and impurities from raw materials, which can be present up to a concentration of 0,010 % by weight in the final formulation;’.
