The Council’s detergents regulation aims to simplify the current rules on the sale and free movement of detergents in the European Union. The revised regulation updates the requirements and labelling of these products to make them safer and more suitable for wholesale sales. It also introduces digital labelling and product passports.
This product passport, which will accompany the product throughout its life on the market, will serve as proof of compliance by grouping essential information:
- Unique identifier for complete traceability.
- Manufacturer’s name and address for enhanced transparency.
- Detergent identifier and label for immediate product identification.
- References to legislative acts the detergent complies with.
- List of ingredients.
This passport must be kept in all official languages of the target markets and be available for 10 years after the product’s first market release. The reference for each product passport will be recorded in the detergent registry under Article 20 of the amended regulation proposal.
