Recital 24

(24) The CE marking, indicating the conformity of a detergent with this Regulation, is the visible consequence of a whole process comprising conformity assessment in a broad sense. Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 lays down the general principles of the CE marking. That Regulation should be applicable to detergents covered by this Regulation in order to ensure that products benefiting from the free movement of goods within the Union fulfil requirements providing a high level of protection of public interests such as health and the environment. In line with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, the CE marking should be the only marking of conformity indicating that the detergent is in conformity with Union harmonisation legislation. _________________ 36 Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93 (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30).deleted

Recital 25

(25) To ensure a high level of protection of ~~human~~ health, manufacturers should be required to provide an ingredient data sheet for non- hazardous detergents. In order to optimise efficiency of the relevant requirements and in view of the system related to emergency health response already established under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, manufacturers should hold this information at the disposal of poison centres, upon request.

Amendment 103 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28

(28) Fragrance substances are organic compounds with characteristic, usually pleasant, odours, which are widely used in detergents but also in many other products such as perfumes and other perfumed cosmetics. Those substances could cause an allergic reaction upon contact, especially to sensitised persons, even when contained in low concentrations. Therefore, it is important to provide information on the presence of individual allergenic fragrances in detergents so that sensitised persons can avoid contact with the substance to which they are allergic. It is therefore necessary to lay down strict requirements for the labelling of allergenic fragrances. However, those substances could also trigger a labelling requirement under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Specific labelling requirements should therefore be established that would apply only when the labelling thresholds under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 are not met. This will not only prevent the unnecessary burden for economic operators but also ensure that end-users receive this information presented in a clear manner thus providing a high level of protection of human health even for sensitised persons. As the fragrance allergens established in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 are directly applicable to detergents under this Regulation, the same transition periods should apply to both cosmetic and detergent products.

(33) Digital labelling could also create challenges for the vulnerable population groups with no or insufficient digital skills and lead to an accentuation of the digital divide. For this reason, the specific information to be provided only in a digital label should reflect the current state of the digitalisation of the society, as well as readiness of the necessary wireless and other technological infrastructure allowing unrestricted access to the information on chemicals, and the particular situation of detergents users. In addition, all the labelling information concerning the protection of health and the environment, as well as minimum use instructions of detergents, should remain on the physical label, to enable all end- users to make informed choices before buying the detergent and to ensure its safe handling.

(37) Since detergents have the same use and present the same risks irrespective of the format in which they are made available on the market, economic operators making detergents available on the market in a refill format should ensure that these comply with the same requirements as the pre-packaged ones. In addition, consumers should receive the required labelling information also when opting for refilled detergents. A physical copy of the label should always be present at the refill station. The refill sale of detergents should, therefore, be explicitly covered by this Regulation in order to ensure a high level of protection of health and the environment and a level playing field for economic operators.

(39) Manufacturers should create a product passport to provide information on the conformity of detergents and surfactants with this Regulation, as well as with any other legislation that the detergent or surfactant must comply with, without jeopardising the protection of confidential business information. In order to facilitate checks on detergents or surfactants and to allow the actors in the supply chain and end-users to access necessary information such as ingredients and use instructions, the information on the product passport should be provided digitally and in a directly accessible manner, through a data carrier affixed to the label of the detergent or surfactant, its packaging or the accompanying documentation. Market surveillance authorities, economic operators and end- users should, therefore, have immediate access to compliance or other information on the detergent or surfactant through the data carrier.

Recital 55

(55) Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 provided for a safeguard procedure allowing the Commission to examine the justification for a measure taken by a Member State against detergents and surfactants considered to constitute a risk or liable to constitute a risk. In order to increase transparency and to reduce processing time, it is necessary to improve the previous safeguard procedure, with the view to making it more efficient and drawing on the expertise available in Member States. The previous system should be replaced by a procedure under which interested parties are informed of measures intended to be taken with regard to detergents and surfactants presenting a risk to health or the environment. Market surveillance authorities should be allowed, in cooperation with the relevant economic operators, to act at an early stage in respect of such detergents and surfactants. The Commission should, by means of implementing acts and, given their special and technical nature, acting without the application of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, determine whether a national measure in respect of a detergent or surfactant presenting a risk is justified, including in the light of the precautionary principle.

Amendment 134 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 56

(56) Experience with Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 has shown that detergents and surfactants which were compliant with the applicable requirements have in specific cases posed a risk to health or the environment. Provisions should be made to ensure that market surveillance authorities take action against any detergent or surfactant presenting a risk or liable to present a risk to health or the environment, even when compliant with the legal requirements. The Commission should, by means of implementing acts and, given their special and technical nature, acting without the application of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, determine whether a national measure in respect of compliant detergents or surfactants which a Member State finds to pose a risk or liable to pose a risk to health and safety of persons or the environment is justified, including in the light of the precautionary principle.

(4) The Fitness Check of the most relevant chemicals legislation31 (excluding Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 ) highlighted the complexity of the Union regulatory framework for chemicals and attributed it to the large number of product and sector specific pieces of legislation with embedded links with each other. It also pointed out that there is room for simplification in the communication of information of overcrowded labels to product users, and found that the use of innovative tools for communicating product information is currently not being taken advantage of. It is, therefore, necessary that the current rules are simplified to reduce burden for economic operators, improve consumer understanding and facilitate market surveillance. Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 should therefore be replaced, but, in order to achieve regulatory consistency, any amendment that may be introduced to the rules on registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals contained in detergents, such as restriction of hazardous substances, must only be undertaken within the appropriate framework of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. _________________ 31 Fitness Check of the most relevant chemicals legislation (excluding REACH), SWD(2019)199 32 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH),establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing CouncilRegulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as CouncilDirective 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

(12 a) In accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council1a, it is necessary to replace, reduce or refine testing on animals, with a view to stop using animals for testing as soon as possible. As there are already alternatives available to ensure the safety of detergents, it is therefore appropriate to prohibit animal testing, as well as the use of data coming from animal tests, for this purpose. The Commission and Member States should step up their efforts to develop alternative testing methods. _________________ 1a Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes (OJ L 276, 20.10.2010, p. 33).

Amendment 88 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12 a (new)

(12 a) Current practice shows that the use of animal testing is technically no longer necessary to ensure the safety of detergents. All animal testing should therefore be prohibited, and existing products that were developed with the use of animal testing will continue to be allowed to be placed on the market. The Commission should establish relevant alternative methods where necessary and encourage the sharing of information between all relevant stakeholders to support the development of non-animal testing.
