On 1 April
2016, A.I.S.E. launched its second product stewardship programme ("PSP 2016”)
on indoor air emissions from air fresheners. This programme builds on the
success of the 2007 programme and introduces some important changes as well as
a monitoring system for participating companies.
The product
stewardship programme applies to combustible air fresheners, mainly perfumed
candles and incense, as well as other air fresheners such as sprays, including
aerosol – mini and pump-sprays, liquid wicks, gels, potpourris, electrical
devices and car fresheners. Any company that manufactures and/or places combustible air fresheners
and other air fresheners on the market in Europe can participate in this
programme.
Participating companies
commit to apply voluntary rules and standards to their products in the
following areas:
- Safety provisions
- Product labelling requirements
- Information on chemical composition
- Product shape specifications
- Advertising guidelines
- Communication on PSP commitment
A.I.S.E. will ensure the implementation of the voluntary commitment
through annual KPI reporting and external third party audits.
All companies
interested in signing up to the second PSP (2016) may download the full package
of relevant documents here.
The 2007 programme
remains active until 1 October 2017.
