(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).

(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.
