Phosphate and EDTA Analysis: How Do We Certify Compliance with Toxicity Criteria?

Phosphate and EDTA Analysis: How Do We Certify Compliance with Toxicity Criteria?

    Detergent Safety Goes Beyond Cleaning Power

    From bleach to dishwashing detergents, household products are formulated for effective results. However, today’s consumers and regulatory bodies demand more: products must not only clean efficiently but also be safe for humans and the environment. This is where phosphate analysis and EDTA analysis become critical.

    What Are Phosphates and EDTA, and Why Are They Critical?

    • Phosphate: Boosts cleaning performance but can lead to eutrophication when discharged into water systems.
    • EDTA: Stabilizes formulations by binding heavy metals. However, it is poorly biodegradable and may increase environmental toxicity.

    What Do Regulations Require?

    In the EU and other major markets, strict limits are enforced on the use of phosphates and EDTA. Exporting companies must verify their formulations through accredited laboratory services.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Why is phosphate analysis mandatory?

    Because of its environmental impact, especially in aquatic ecosystems, phosphate use is regulated in many regions.

    Is EDTA harmful?

    EDTA is not easily biodegradable and may persist in nature, posing ecological risks if used excessively.

    How fast can I get the test results?

    Standard reporting takes 3–5 business days after sample receipt.
