Article 3 - Decision 2018/680

Article 3

1.  

In order to be awarded the EU Ecolabel under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, a service shall fall within the product group ‘indoor cleaning services’ as specified in Article 1 of this Decision and shall fulfil the related assessment and verification requirements set out in the Annex to this Decision as well as the following conditions:

(a) 

it complies with all the mandatory criteria set out in the Annex to this Decision;

(b) 

it complies with a sufficient number of the optional criteria set out in the Annex to this Decision in order to score at least 14 points;

(c) 

it is subject to separate accounting records in relation to other services provided by the same operator that do not fall within the scope of this Decision, including other indoor cleaning services that do not fulfil the requirements set out in this Decision.

2.  
An operator that has been awarded the EU Ecolabel for indoor cleaning services shall not provide other services which are not covered by the EU Ecolabel unless the indoor cleaning services covered by the EU Ecolabel are provided by a sub-division, a subsidiary, a branch or a department of the operator that is clearly distinct from it and keeps separate accounting records.

Any other service provided by that operator that falls outside the scope of this Decision, including other indoor cleaning services that do not fulfil the requirements set out in this Decision, shall not be covered by the EU Ecolabel licence for indoor cleaning services and shall not be marketed as such.

3.  
Where an operator that has been awarded the EU Ecolabel for indoor cleaning services makes use of subcontractors for the provision of such services, these must also hold an EU Ecolabel licence for indoor cleaning services.
