Reference excerpt

The UK Cleaning Products Industry Association is the leading trade association for companies representing UK producers of cleaning and hygiene products. This includes soaps, washing powders and liquids, household disinfectants, air care and polishes, as well as professional cleaning and hygiene products used in industrial and institutional applications. UKCPI runs awareness campaigns relating to product safety and energy efficiency, and provides materials for schools to teach about effective hand washing.

History The inaugural meeting of the Society of British Soap Makers was held at 2.30pm on 7 July 1954, at the Queens Hotel in Leeds, and was chaired by Mr RE Huffam of Unilever Limited. Its first AGM was held at the same location, on 19 October 1955. In 1963, the organisation became a member of European body AIS, which later merged with FIFE to become what is now AISE. In 1967 its name was changed to the Soap and Detergent Industry Association (SDIA). In 1970 the SDIA merged with the Soap Makers Association and, that same year, appointed its first director general, Mr GV Richardson. In 2001, the merged organisation, which was still known as SDIA, changed its name to UK Cleaning Products Industry Association.

The remainder of the total amount is taken up by household or homecare cleaning products such as laundry, bathroom and kitchen cleaning and disinfection, surface and air care products. In September 2009, Philip Malpass replaced Dr Andy Williams as Director General.

Function UKCPI represents the UK-wide cleaning products industry, including companies which make and use products for hygiene, soap (detergents and conventional soaps), cleaning surfaces, and air fresheners. It is involved with marketing the industry as a whole (although the industry has some of the UK's notorious largest spenders on advertising) and regulation. UKCPI represents its members’ interests directly with UK government departments and bodies on the formulation and application of government policy and regulation. As part of this remit, it is a member of the All Party Manufacturing Group. It also works closely with the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products (AISE), to represent its members' interests with the European Commission and European Parliament. UKCPI is also a member of the government's Chemicals Stakeholders Forum (CSF), the Alliance of Chemical Associations (ACA) and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). In terms of its members, UKCPI provides advice and guidance notes to members regarding forthcoming legislation and regulation, organises regional meetings to keep members up-to-date on technical and regulatory developments and issues. It also identifies non-competitive issues of common interest to its members and seeks their resolution through industry-wide consensus. UKCPI maintains its own website and a members-only extranet.

Members It is based in Tattenhall in Cheshire West and Chester. Members include:

PZ Cussons Procter & Gamble Reckitt Benckiser S. C. Johnson & Son Unilever - one of Britain's largest companies

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with UK Cleaning Products Industry Association

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what UK Cleaning Products Industry Association claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to UK Cleaning Products Industry Association before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about UK Cleaning Products Industry Association ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of UK Cleaning Products Industry Association

In research: UK Cleaning Products Industry Association appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses UK Cleaning Products Industry Association in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: UK Cleaning Products Industry Association is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Chemical companies of the United Kingdom, Cheshire West and Chester, Cleaning products, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for UK Cleaning Products Industry Association outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
