Interesting - never read the standard before, however section 2.2 says that whilst there's a standard for UK produced CDA (Completely Denatured Alcohol), CDA approved and produced by any other EU state is also allowed.
So, good luck with that! There's 27 other EU states, each potentially with a different standard (assuming that they have a standard), but if a version of CDA is allowed there, we have to allow it.
Thus, unless the bottle says it's produced in a specific country, you just don't know, i.e. "Produced in the EU" is not helpful.
Anyway, this is all rather moot, as has been mentioned, industrially flux is now water-soluble to avoid the need for organic solvents. Not all components are dishwasher-safe (or can be protected against washing) so they have to added post cleaning or the board designed to only use components that can be cleaned this way - generally a problem for switches, connectors, inductors etc.
