May be used interchangeably with the term ‘household dishwasher’. Industrial and This term is used to denote dishwasher detergent products which are intended for use solely institutional by professional users in the industrial and institutional sector. May be used interchangeably dishwasher with ‘professional dishwasher’. Industrial and institutional detergent means a detergent for detergent washing and cleaning outside the domestic sphere, carried out by specialised personnel (IIDD) using specific products. Biocide Chemicals used to suppress organisms that are harmful to human or animal health, or that cause damage to natural or manufactured materials.1 Biocidal Active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances put up in the products form in which they are supplied to the user, intended to destroy, render harmless, prevent the action of or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means.2 Bio- The tendency for a substance to be accumulated in an organism due to difference in the rate accumulative of intake and loss of the substance from the organism. Detergent Any substance or mixture containing soaps and/or other surfactants intended for washing and cleaning processes. Detergents may be in any form (liquid, powder, paste, bar, cake, moulded piece, shape, etc.) and marketed for or used in the household, or institutional or industrial purposes.3 Enzyme Proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions without interacting in the reactions themselves. EU Ecolabel A voluntary method of environmental performance certification which identifies overall proven environmental preference of a product or service within a specific product/service category based on life cycle considerations. There are three types of voluntary labels identified by ISO with the EU Ecolabel falling under the Type I category. Type I Ecolabel A voluntary, multi criteria-based, third party program that awards a license that authorises the use of environmental labels on products indicating overall environmental preferability of a product within a particular product category based on life cycle considerations. Surfactant Any organic substance and/or mixture used in detergents that has surface-active properties and that consists of one or more hydrophilic and one or more hydrophobic groups of such a nature and size that it is capable of reducing the surface tension of water, and of forming spreading or adsorption monolayers at the water-air interface, and of forming emulsions and/or micro emulsions and/or micelles, and of adsorption at water-solid interfaces.3 Standard A document established by consensus and approved by a recognised body that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context. 1 For more details see: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/biocides/index_en.htm. 2 Based on Regulation (EC) No 528/2012of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (L 167/1 OJEU 27.8.2012) Available from: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/biocides/index_en.htm. 3 Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 2012of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on detergents (OJ L 104, 8.4.2004) Available from: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/chemicals/documents/specific-chemicals/detergents/. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................................................................................... 7 1.

    Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology (2019) 29:83–94 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41370-018-0040-2 ARTICLE Consumer behaviour survey for assessing exposure from consumer products: a feasibility study 1 2 1 2 1 2 Klaus Schneider ● Selina Recke ● Eva Kaiser ● Sebastian Götte ● Henrike Berkefeld ● Juliane Lässig ● 3 3 1 Thomas Rüdiger ● Oliver Lindtner ● Jan Oltmanns Received: 4 October 2017 / Revised: 26 January 2018 / Accepted: 23 March 2018 / Published online: 23 May 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access Abstract Evaluating chemical exposures from consumer products is an essential part of chemical safety assessments under REACH and may also be important to demonstrate compliance with consumer product legislation. Modelling of consumer exposure needs input information on the substance (e.g. vapour pressure), the product(s) containing the substance (e.g. concentration) and on consumer behaviour (e.g. use frequency and amount of product used). This feasibility study in Germany investigated methods for conducting a consumer survey in order to identify and retrieve information on frequency, duration, use amounts and use conditions for six example product types (four mixtures, two articles): hand dishwashing liquid, cockpit spray, fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: llers, paints and lacquers, shoes made of rubber or plastic, and ball-pens/pencils. Retrospective questionnaire methods (Consumer Product Questionnaire (CPQ), and Recall-Foresight Questionnaire (RFQ)) as well as protocol methods (written reporting by participants and video documentation) were used. A combination of retrospective questionnaire and written protocol methods was identified to provide valid information in a resource-efficient way. Relevant information, which can readily be used in exposure modelling, was obtained for all parameters and product types investigated.
