Quantities of the surfactant used in detergents

The information on use patterns given in this section shall be sufficient to allow an approximate but realistic estimate of function and environmental exposure to the surfactant as associated with its use in detergents. It shall include the following:

• importance of the application (societal value),

• use conditions (release scenario),

• use volume,

• availability and suitability of alternatives (performance and economic considerations),

• assessment of relevant environmental information.
