Understanding differences in global legislation and successfully marketing detergents
If you want to market detergents and/or cleaning agents, it is essential to comply with the requirements of chemicals legislation and national laws. These mandatory requirements ensure that the transmitted data (formulation) is forwarded to the poison information centers in an emergency so that information is available quickly.
Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 (Detergents Regulation) applies to the EU. It is important to note that the notification procedure in different EU countries differs between hazardous and non-hazardous detergents and cleaning agents. In Germany, for example, the notification of non-hazardous WMR products is mandatory. In addition, the regulations mentioned restrict certain ingredients or exclude them from the market altogether, especially if they are not readily biodegradable.
For successful global marketing, you must be familiar with the legal provisions of the respective countries. Even outside the EU, the notification procedure varies greatly from country to country. In the USA, for example, the FHSA (Federal Hazardous Substances Act) and CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Act) are relevant, while Switzerland has similar regulations to the EU and bans phosphates in detergents and cleaning products.
The difficult path to correct product reporting of your detergents
As the notification procedure differs considerably both within and outside the EU, it can be challenging to keep track of everything. It is crucial that both the verification and the actual notification must be completed before import into the respective country. Otherwise, there is a risk of major delays in delivery and import.
