What is BS 6585- Detergents for domestic machine dishwashing about?
BS 6585 discusses detergents for domestic machine dishwashing. BS 6585 establishes guidelines for carrying out comparative tests on machine dishwashing products solid or liquid, in an attempt to reflect realistically the performance of products likely to be used by consumers.
BS 6585 applies both to dishwashing machine detergents and to rinsing agents; the latter are added optionally by the user to the final rinse water to improve draining and so improve appearance, particularly under some conditions, e.g., hard water.
