INTEGRITY OF CHSA ACCREDITATIONS SCHEMES CONTINUES

The Cleaning and Hygiene Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) independent inspector conducted more than 139 audits in 2022, guaranteeing the continued integrity of the association’s accreditation schemes.

In the process he inspected over 1,500 labels, tested over 507 product lines and physically tested 4,170 individual products. Compliance continued to be high, each scheme achieving over 90 per cent.

With such high levels of compliance, buyers and end users of these products can be certain ‘what’s on the box was what’s in the box’.

“The CHSA’s guarantee was particularly important in 2022,” explained Lorcan Mekitarian, Chair of the CHSA

“Rising inflation puts pressure on prices. Unscrupulous traders compromised on product quality and quantity to offer exceptionally low prices.

“The CHSA’s accreditation scheme mark offered something different, a stamp of quality buyers of cleaning and hygiene products could and can continue to depend on.”
