European Cosmetics Directive ComplianceFor wet cleaning wipes to be suitable (and legal) for hand cleaning they must have certification to prove that they comply with the latest and toughest European Cosmetics Standards.
BIG WIPES fully comply to the latest European Cosmetics Standards making them suitable for hand cleaning as well as tools and surfaces.
Sadly there are wet wipes on the market that describe themselves as hand wipes, yet do not comply to the latest amendments of the relevent standards, putting you and your staff at potential risk.
Important Note:
The European Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC and its subsequent amendments) aims to guarantee the safety of cosmetic products for human use. Due to the frequent amendments made to this directive as the science of chemicals advances, products should be continually reviewed for compliance and certificates updated at least every 18 months.
Here at Sycamore UK, we invest in continual advice, review and verification from professional bodies to ensure our Big Wipes products remain both legal and safe as the regulations evolve.

Dermatitis is one of the fastest growing reasons for time off work and is accounting for an increasing number of claims by employees against employers.
It is vital that organisations identify where products are being used that may lead to irritation and put into place appropriate processes to ideally remove the risks or minimise wherever possible.
Meeting the European Cosmetics Standards does not guarantee a product won't irritate skin. At Big Wipes we go much further. Big Wipes, where designed for use on hands, are dermatologically tested - giving extra reassurance that they may be tough on cleaning but are kind to hands.
The dermatology tests are carried out independently by *SGS professional dermatologists on a cross-section of people to ensure that there are zero levels of irritation experienced across the entire volunteer group.
The few competitors who make dermatology claims often attempt to rely on inadequate replica tests on animals, or comparitive testing against competitors' products that only demonstrates that their products are "less irritating" than others!
*SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS is one of Europe's leading providers of non-medical laboratory analysis.
