EP - Decision by Parliament, 1st reading
Details
The European Parliament adopted by 499 votes to 100, with 23 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on detergents and surfactants, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 648/2004.
The Commission proposal seeks to establish rules for the free movement of detergents and surfactants in the internal market while, at the same time, ensuring a high degree of protection of health and the environment.
The European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amends the Commission's proposal as follows:
Biodegradability
Members considered that substances used in detergents, other than surfactants should be inherently biodegradable . By two years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Commission should adopt delegated acts to supplement Annex I with inherent biodegradability criteria and test methods for constituents other than surfactants. When adopting these delegated acts, the Commission should take into account manufacturing practices, the availability of technically and economically feasible alternatives, the impact on small and medium-sized enterprises and the impact on health and environment.
By two years from the date of entry into force of the delegated act, water-soluble film around detergents should be degradable.
Limitations on the content of phosphates and other phosphorus compounds
The amended text stated that the unintentional presence in surfactants and detergents of phosphates and other phosphorus compounds that stems from impurities of ingredients, from the manufacturing process or storage or from migration from packaging, should be tolerated if that presence is technically unavoidable in good manufacturing practice and, notwithstanding such presence, those surfactants and detergents are safe.
Animal testing
The placing on the market of detergents and surfactants which have been the subject of animal testing in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation should therefore generally be prohibited while still ensuring the protection of human health and allowing the use of historic data. The use of the claim ‘animal testing free’ or similar claims should only be allowed if it is ensured that during the manufacturing and conformity testing no animal testing has occurred.
Obligation of manufacturers
Upon request, manufacturers should share relevant information in a timely manner with relevant economic operators, including distributors, importers and authorised representatives, in the supply chain concerned on any conformity issue or risk to health or the environment that they have identified in relation to their product, and of any consequent corrective action, recall or withdrawal.
Manufacturers should:
- make their communication channels, such as a telephone number, an email address or a dedicated section of their website, publicly available on their website, taking into account the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities and enabling end-users to submit complaints or concerns about potential non-conformity of products or safety issues;
- retain the technical documentation, product passport and, where applicable, digital label for a period of 10 years from the date of placing on the market of the last item in a batch or the last model of the detergent or surfactant to which that documentation, product passport or digital label relates.
Labelling
Where detergents are made available on the market directly to an end-user in a refill format , the operator should ensure that the label elements are affixed to the packaging. The information on the digital label should be presented in a format that addresses the needs of vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities. The data carrier should be physically, indelibly, visibly and legibly present on the detergent or surfactant, their packaging or the documentation accompanying them, in a way that allows it to be processed automatically by digital devices.
Where economic operators provide a digital label, the data carrier should be accompanied by the statement ‘Please scan for more comprehensive information on the product’ or by a similar statement.
Product passport
The passport should:
- correspond to a specific model, that should be updated when changes are made to the list of ingredients, or where appropriate, to a specific batch of the detergent or surfactant;
- be up-to-date, accurate and complete;
- be easily accessible to customers, end-users, manufacturers, importers, distributors, competent national authorities, market surveillance authorities, customs authorities, the Commission, other economic operators and other relevant stakeholders, such as civil society organisations and researchers.
Product passports should be designed and operated in a user-friendly way.
Penalties
Penalties should give due regard to the following, where applicable: (i) the nature, gravity, and extent of the infringement; (ii) the intentional or negligent character of the infringement; (iii) the damage to human health or the environment caused by the infringement, insofar as it can be determined; (iv) the level of cooperation of the natural or legal person held responsible with the competent authority.

PURPOSE: to update the rules on detergents, strengthening enforcement so that more compliant detergents and surfactants enter the EU's market.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: the conditions for placing and making available on the market of detergents and surfactants for detergents have been harmonised through Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on detergents.
In 2019, the Commission Evaluation of the Regulation concluded that overall that Regulation has achieved its objectives to a large extent. However, the evaluation also identified a number of weaknesses and areas for further improvement. In recent years, the regulatory framework for chemicals has changed radically creating a lack of coherence and duplications in the rules applicable to detergents and notably their information requirements. There is therefore a need to ensure consistency and to eliminate the duplicated information requirements.
In addition, new market developments, in particular the development of detergents containing micro-organisms and the refill sale of detergents have emerged that are either completely or partially not covered by Regulation (EC) No 648/2004. On the other hand, digitalisation offers opportunities for simplification, burden reduction and increased ease of use and understandability of safety and use information that are currently missed. It is therefore necessary to take account of the newly emerged products and practices and step up the digitalisation efforts in line with the overarching objectives of the Union especially in terms of sustainability, green and digital transition.
This initiative updates the existing rules in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and the recently adopted Commission Communication on the long-term competitiveness of the EU.
CONTENT: this Commission proposal seeks to guarantee the functioning of the internal market while ensuring that detergents and surfactants on the market fulfil the requirements providing for a high level of protection of health and the environment. The revised rules cover new innovative products like detergents containing micro-organisms and sustainable new practices like the refill sale of detergents. The new rules also introduce a digital labelling and a product passport for detergents and surfactants.
More specifically, the proposal will:
- simplify market rules by abolishing several requirements that have now become unnecessary or redundant : among those, such as: i) the obligation to provide an ingredient data sheet for hazardous detergents; ii) the obligatory intervention of approved laboratories that had to perform the tests under the Regulation; iii) the possibility to request a derogation for surfactants that do not meet the criterion of ultimate biodegradability ; and iv) the obligation for manufacturers of detergents and surfactants to be established within the Union. Additionally, labels will also be simplified and streamlined to reduce the administrative burden for the detergents' industry and, at the same time, increase the understandability of labels by end-users;
- introduce voluntary digital labelling : the proposal differentiates between pre-packaged products and products sold in a refill format. For pre-packaged products, economic operators may choose to move certain mandatory labelling information to a digital label, in combination with a physical one. And for products sold in a refill format, the possibility to provide all labelling information, except for dosage instructions for consumer laundry detergents, only digitally. The introduction of digital labelling will reduce burden and costs for industry and will provide further ease of use and awareness for consumers and professional users;
- facilitate the sales of innovative safe products : the detergents sector has recently developed new innovative cleaning products that work on the action of micro-organisms . As these micro-organisms may present promising alternatives to harmful chemicals, the revised Regulation will introduce safety requirements for micro-organisms in detergents and the obligation for manufacturers to label the presence of micro-organisms in the detergents so that consumers are better informed. This will not only allow these products to move freely in the Single Market but also contribute to protecting health and the environment;
- increase sustainability and safety through clear rules for refilled detergents : the proposal ensures that consumers receive the necessary information when buying refilled detergents. The proposal clarifies that refilled detergents are subject to the same rules as pre-packaged detergents. The proposal also introduces voluntary digital labelling for refilled detergents as a means of further facilitating this sustainable practice, which reduces the amount of packaging and packaging waste;
- strengthen enforcement : this proposal replaces the EU declaration of conformity with the obligation for detergents and surfactants to have a product passport demonstrating compliance with the requirements of this Regulation. The product passport will be connected through a data carrier to a unique product identifier and meet the same technical requirements for a product passport under the eco-design for sustainable products regulation. The reference to the product passport will need to be included in a Commission central registry and declared at customs when detergents and surfactants are presented at the EU borders. National inspectors will continue to be responsible for carrying out checks on products, although a new IT system will screen all digital product passports at the external borders.

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.

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.

Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 37 (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.

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

Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (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
Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9 a) In order to avoid constituents of detergents, other than surfactants, persisting and building up in the environment and waste water, hence posing a potential risk to health and the environment, the Commission should assess the feasibility of introducing biodegradability criteria for these other constituents.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) Phosphorus
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) Phosphorus is a key ingredient used in detergents. However, phosphorus and its compounds could cause damage to ecosystems and aquatic environments as they contribute to eutrophication. To further ensure a high level of protection of the environment, and reduce the contribution of detergents to that phenomenon, it is necessary to establish harmonised limits on the content of phosphates and phosphorus compounds in consumer and professional laundry and consumer a
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 a (new) (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.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 a (new) (12 a) This Regulation should contribute to the objective of the zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment1a by restricting the use of substances of concern in detergents and surfactants where technically and economically possible. Manufacturers should be given the necessary time to adapt to these requirements and to modify the formulation of their products, where necessary. _________________ 1a https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal- content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52021 DC0400&qid=1623311742827

Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) In order to safeguard the functioning of the internal market and to ensure that the objective of providing a high level of protection of health and the environment is achieved, it is necessary to establish that detergents and surfactants from third countries entering the Union market also comply with this Regulation. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been carried out by manufacturers with regard to those products. It is also necessary to lay down rules for importers to ensure that the detergents and surfactants they place on the market comply with those requirements and that the documentation drawn up by manufacturers

Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 (31) Digital labelling could improve the communication of labelling information both by avoiding overcrowded physical labels and by allowing users to rely on various reading options available only for digital formats, such as increased font, automatic search, loud speakers or translation into other languages. Providing digital labels could also lead to a more efficient management of the labelling obligations by economic operators, by facilitating the update of labelling information, reducing labelling costs and permitting a more targeted information of users. Therefore, economic operators should be allowed to provide certain labelling information only through the digital label

Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 32 (32) To avoid imposing an unnecessary administrative burden for economic operators, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and since, in most cases, the digital label is only complementary to the physical one, economic operators should be able to decide whether to use digital labels or provide all the information on a physical label only. The choice to provide a digital label should rest with manufacturers and importers, who are responsible for providing the accurate set of labelling information.
Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (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 on
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (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. Different levels of digitalization in the Member States should also be taken into account. 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 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.
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 Amendment 110 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 a (new) (34 a) For detergents and surfactants sold to end users in a refill format, the physical and digital labelling shall be printed in the place where the refill is for sale. It is important that these end users also have the latest information regarding the product they are buying.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 35 (35) To ensure a level playing field among economic operators making available detergents on the market, and to protect end-users, general requirements for digital labelling should be laid down. For example, economic operators should ensure free and easy access to digital labels, available in maximum two buttons or clicks, and that mandatory labelling information requested under this Regulation is separated from other information.
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 (36) Given the current development of the digital skills, economic operators should also provide the labelling information by alternative means to end- users when they cannot access the digital label. This obligation should be imposed as a safety measure to reduce any potential risks by the unavailability of the labelling information, in particular as regards refilled detergents
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 39 (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. 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. Before introducing the Digital Product Passport obligation a comprehensive impact assessment should be carried out to evaluate the costs to be incurred by the industry and the potential benefits.

Amendment 222 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex VI – paragraph 2 Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) Since micro-organisms are not subject to registration under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 or any other Union legislation requiring manufacturers to demonstrate that the intended use is safe, they should be eligible for use in detergents only to the extent that they have been clearly identified and supported by data demonstrating that their use is safe, and subject to specific requirements governing their safety. Harmonised rules governing the safety of micro-organisms in detergents as well as relevant test methods for economic operators to demonstrate compliance with those rules should, therefore, be established. Restrictions are required on the format in which detergents containing micro-organisms are placed on the market when sensitising ingredients are included in their composition. To ensure a high level of protection of human health even for sensitised persons, detergents containing micro-organisms and which are placed on the market in a spray format should, therefore, be found safe for use in this format. Testing methodology of detergents based on microorganisms in spray form shall not use animal-based methods. In alignment with existing OECD guidelines and EU regulations on animal protection, these methodologies should employ alternative, non-animal testing methods to assess the toxicity of such substances and mixtures.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) To ensure a high level of protection of the aspects of public interest, and to guarantee fair competition on the internal market, economic operators should be responsible for the compliance of detergents or surfactants with this Regulation, in relation to their respective roles in the supply chain.
Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) All economic operators intervening in the supply and distribution chain should take appropriate and effective measures to ensure that they only make available on the Union market detergents and surfactants which are in conformity with this Regulation. It is necessary to provide for a clear and proportionate distribution of obligations which correspond to the role of each economic operator in the supply and distribution chain.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) In order to safeguard the functioning of the internal market and to ensure that the objective of providing a high level of protection of health and the environment is achieved, it is necessary to establish that detergents and surfactants from third countries entering the Union market also comply with this Regulation. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been carried out by manufacturers with regard to those products. It is also necessary to lay down rules for importers to ensure that the detergents and surfactants they place on the market comply with those requirements and that the documentation drawn up by manufacturers
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) Since importers play a key role in guaranteeing the compliance of imported detergents and surfactants in the Union market, when placing a detergent or surfactant on the market, importers should indicate on the product their name, registered trade name or registered trade mark as well as their postal address and
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) Economic operators that either place a detergent or surfactant on the market under their own name or trade mark or modify a detergent or surfactant in such a significant way that compliance with this Regulation could be affected should be considered to be manufacturers and should assume the obligations of manufacturers. In other cases, economic operators that only package or repackage a detergent or surfactant already placed on the market by other economic operators should be able to prove that compliance with the requirements of this Regulation has not been affected, by indicating their identity on the package and by keeping a copy of the original labelling information.
