The following five tasks are foreseen:

  • Task 1 – Product scope definition
  • Task 2 – Market analysis
  • Task 3 – Technical analysis
  • Task 4 – Improvement potential
  • Task 5 – Elaboration of draft criteria and technical background reports

Expected deliverables:

1. Preliminary report: contains outcomes from tasks 1-4, covering:

  • Product definition and classification
  • Economic and market analysis
  • Technical and environmental analysis

2. Technical report including criteria proposal and supporting rationale. During the revision process, this report is improved via stakeholders' consultation and several intermediate versions are produced.

Project timeline:

The revision process is ongoing and the vote is expected by Q2 of 2027 (date to be determined).

Stakeholder consultation:

The JRC will communicate by email to all registered stakeholders the time and steps of specific consultation meetings, including instructions on how to access the working document(s) related to the milestones. All documents will be uploaded on the specific Documents section.

Registered stakeholders need to express their interest to participate to each consultation meeting. Afterwards, they will receive a formal invitation that they will have to answer to confirm their participation.

Registered stakeholders are expected to read the working document(s) before the meeting.

The JRC and stakeholders having confirmed their participation will attend the consultation meeting. In this meeting, registered stakeholders will be able to discuss openly with the JRC and among themselves on different topics of relevance for Cleaning Services.

Registered stakeholders will have a time interval to provide comments to the working document(s).
