Regulatory Support for Detergents: Ensure Compliance with Applicable Requirements
Several regulations govern the placing of detergents on the market in order to ensure their safety.
First, detergents are subject to a specific regulation: European Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 on detergents. In addition, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) applies. This regulation establishes detailed requirements for hazard classification, labelling, packaging, and, where applicable, notification of mixtures.
As chemical products, detergents are also subject to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), which aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment in the use of chemical substances.
When developing and placing a detergent on the market, it is essential to consider all applicable legal requirements in order to ensure regulatory compliance.
