IKW Recommendations for the Quality Assessment of Winter Windscreen Cleaners (2005)

Windscreen cleaners are products that are added - possibly diluted with water as prescribed - to windscreen washer systems of motor vehicles. They serve to clean the front windscreen and the rear windscreen while windscreen wipers are in operation. They might also serve to clean headlights.

Generally, winter windscreen cleaners are aqueous alcohol and/or glycol solutions with additions of surfactants and possibly complexing agents - for the cleaning of windscreens also at temperatures below freezing point.

The Qualtity Assessment Recommendations can be downloaded here as a pdf-file. A hard copy can be ordered free-of-charge

Statistics

Statistics Cookies collect information anonymously. This information helps us understand how our visitors use our website.

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization
For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

 

Analysis without cookies
We have configured Matomo in such a way that Matomo will only store cookies in your browser if you have agreed to it.

Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
