  • Diversey UK
  • Eastern Valley Chemicals
  • Easy Cleaning Solutions

  • Greyland
  • Holchem Laboratories
  • Kitchenmaster NI

The Chemical Manufacturers Accreditation Scheme joins the CHSA’s existing accreditation schemes for distributors and for manufacturers of soft tissue, plastic refuse sacks and industrial cotton mops. 

“Our focus is always on driving up standards in the industry,” explained Mike Stubbs, Vice President of the CHSA and Chairman of the Accreditation Schemes. “The launch of the Accreditation Scheme for Manufacturers of Cleaning Chemicals is an important step in the achievement in this strategic aim. It guarantees buyers from an accredited member can rely on their commitment to standards and ethical trading.
