  • If the technical documentation consists of a certificate from the manufacturer stating that none of the dyes in the requirement have been used in the product, check that the product in question is covered by the certificate.
  • If the technical documentation consists of documentation from the manufacturer stating which dyes have been used in the product, check that the product in question is covered by the documentation. Also check that the dyes in the requirement are not included in the documentation.

Self-declaration verified by an accredited verification body

If a verified self-declaration is used to prove that the requirement is fulfilled, request the supplier’s self-declaration, including documentation showing that the requirement is met.
