PD CEN/TR 17557:2020

This standard PD CEN/TR 17557:2020 Surface active agents. Bio-based surfactants. Overview on bio-based surfactants is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.020.55 Biobased products
• 71.100.40 Surface active agents

The aim of this document is to summarize the actual situation regarding many aspects regarding bio-based surfactants and their relation to any other surfactant regardless of its origin. It will describe existing raw material sources with regard to their current usage in surface active agents, their source identification and conformation, and the options for communication same.

It also includes the current work on surfactants regarding their performances, their sustainability, the LCA approaches and end of life options.
