The DetNet fees comprise an annual subscription fee variable according to turnover band of the company for products within scope and a fee linked to the number of mixtures successfully classified using DetNet reference formulations (the so-called Classification Logging fee).

1. Annual subscription fee

The annual subscription fee is based on self-declared annual turnover band for detergent products companies wish to classify which are within DetNet’s scope (laundry, hand dish wash, all-purpose cleaners).

 A.I.S.E. reserves the right to check the 'self-declared' turnover.

Notes:

• A company is not able to 'screen the database' before deciding to become a subscriber (for confidentiality/security reasons).
• Annual subscription fees have to be paid before access to DetNet is granted.
• Upon renewal of subscription, annual fee shall be paid for access and use to be extended.
• A company which does not manufacture products within scope but wants to use DetNet for classifying other product types with similar chemistry will pay the minimum fee (250 € if a National Association member company, 1250 € if non-member company).

The turnover bands and annual fee levels are showed in the table below:

2. The Classification Logging fee per successful classification using DetNet

The Classification Logging fee per successful classification using DetNet is 150 € per formulation. A classification is considered successful when the expert is being able to derive a classification using one or more reference formulations and bridging principles.

Note: If a company wants to use a DetNet external expert, additional costs will be incurred as the company will need to pay for the external expert’s services.

Invoice and payment

Subscription fees have to be paid (by bank transfer) upon receipt of the invoice before the access to the DetNet database is allowed.

Invoices for subscription of annual renewals will be sent out each year in Q1, as applicable.

Classification logging fees will be invoiced in January and July each year as applicable. Invoices will consider any data compensation accrued on company data shared for use in the DetNet database.

Data compensation mechanism

For those companies providing data to DetNet database, a data compensation mechanism is in place based on standard study costs and Reference Formulation usage rates.
