High Compliance with CHSA Accreditation Schemes in First Half of 2025

The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) has reported strong compliance with its Accreditation Schemes in the first half of 2025, highlighting the ongoing commitment of its members to upholding industry standards. According to the association, more than 140 audits have been completed so far this year, with members achieving an impressive 98.6% compliance rate overall.

The CHSA Accreditation Schemes span a variety of product categories, including soft tissue, plastic sacks, and more recently, cleaning and hygiene chemicals. These schemes are designed to ensure that members accurately label products, maintain product quality, and provide clarity for buyers navigating the dynamic cleaning and hygiene marketplace.

Maintaining Standards Across the Sector

This year’s audit results reflect a continued emphasis on quality assurance and transparency in the supply of janitorial supplies and commercial cleaning solutions. CHSA auditors, who are independent and highly experienced, assess numerous criteria, such as dimensions, weights, composition, and labeling accuracy. The thorough audit process reinforces buyer confidence, especially for those procuring outsourced housekeeping and contract cleaning supplies.

Miriam Armstrong, Chief Executive of the CHSA, commented on the outcomes, stating, “Maintaining high levels of compliance confirms the robustness of our standards and the commitment of our members. Our schemes are built on the principles of honesty and transparency, so buyers can trust what’s on the label reflects what they’re getting.”

Recent Developments and New Challenges

Focus on Cleaning Chemicals

A dedicated Accreditation Scheme for cleaning and hygiene chemicals was introduced in 2023, reflecting industry demand for stronger quality controls in this product segment. In the first half of 2025, significant progress has been made ensuring bulk cleaning chemicals meet expectations on concentration, volume, and labeling. This bolsters confidence in supply chains relying on chemical products for hospitality cleaning services and sustainable cleaning solutions.

Environmental Impact and Sustainability

The CHSA continues to encourage sustainability across its members. While the primary purpose of its schemes is to ensure accurate labeling and reliable product quality, the association has signaled increasing interest in how environmental responsibility can be integrated into its future compliance initiatives.

Implications for the Industry

These figures are not only reassuring for facilities managers and procurement teams overseeing large-scale cleaning operations but also bring accountability to a highly competitive market. Whether working with small providers or larger distributors, companies sourcing contract cleaning supplies can find additional confidence when working with CHSA-accredited members.

While other suppliers in the field demonstrate varying degrees of commitment to these standards, those who offer a more integrated, client-centric model—such as Duraclean—can help businesses maximize value through a full-service approach. This includes tech-enabled ordering systems, dedicated stock holding, and consolidated supply of items ranging from bulk cleaning chemicals to sustainable solutions for commercial environments.

Conclusion

The CHSA's reports underscore the essential role of accreditation in ensuring reliable, transparent delivery of janitorial supplies and commercial cleaning products. As demand continues to grow in sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, and education, adherence to industry-wide schemes remains vital.
