Comprehensive Guide to EN 13697 Chemical Residue Testing on Surfaces Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab

EN 13697:2013 is the European standard for chemical residue testing on surfaces, which specifies the requirements for sampling and analysis of surface cleaning products. The standard is published by CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and is available in multiple languages.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EN 13697 testing is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 19438:2013: Surface cleaning products - Determination of the effectiveness of surface cleaners

  • ASTM E2784-13: Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Cleaning Agents on Surfaces

  • TSE 1489:2011: Household and Institutional Cleaning Products - Sampling and Analysis

    • International and National Standards

    EN 13697 is an international standard, which means it is applicable globally. However, national standards may also be relevant in specific countries.
