Abstract The 'Recommendations for the Quality Assessment of the Cleaning Performance of Dishwasher Detergents" provide detailed procedures to assess the performance of a household dishwasher detergent using a standard test programme of a standard dishwasher. As such, they are a de facto standard for a whole industry. Consequently, it is relevant to ensure that the conditions under which the tests are carried out represent the relevant market: the automatic dishwashing machines installed and…
