(EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) pro-gram recently enhanced its Standard for Safer Cleaning Products by establishing an auditing process that includes on-site and desk audits. The recent enhancements also include provisions that allow recognition of prod-ucts in certain continuous dispensing sys-tems and clarifications of certain terms related to third-party partners. The primary purpose of the newly adopt-ed auditing process is to ensure that DfE-labeled products contain the same ingredi-ents as were reported to DfE during the partnership development process.
