This draft opinion proposes amendments to the proposed regulation on detergents and surfactants, focusing on CE marking, digital product passport, and digital labelling. It suggests deleting the CE marking requirement, making the digital product passport model-specific by default, and introducing a hybrid labelling system with physical and digital labels. It also calls for mandatory authorised representatives for non-EU manufacturers, a single data carrier for digital label and passport, and protection of confidential business information.
Position. The rapporteur proposes amendments to delete the CE marking, make the digital product passport model-specific, and introduce a hybrid labelling system with physical and digital labels.
Key points
- Deletes the CE marking requirement for detergents and surfactants, removing related obligations for manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
- Requires the digital product passport to correspond to a specific model by default, or to a batch when there are changes to ingredients or composition.
- Mandates that a single data carrier be used to access both the digital label and the digital product passport.
- Introduces a hybrid labelling system: physical label includes essential safety and dosage info, while digital label contains all other elements.
- For refill sales, requires a leaflet or sticker with physical label information to be provided to end-users, with manufacturers and retailers responsible.
- Makes appointment of an authorised representative mandatory for manufacturers outside the EU, and requires written acceptance.
- Requires manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide information to authorities within 10 working days of a request.
- Requires manufacturers to make public communication channels for complaints, and importers to verify their availability.
- Protects confidential business information and trade secrets in product passport content and access, referencing Directive (EU) 2016/943.
- Specifies that the product passport is the primary means for authorities to verify compliance.
- Allows digital labelling only if a single data carrier is used and no tracking of usage occurs.
Who is affected
- Manufacturers of detergents and surfactants: must create model-specific product passports and provide hybrid labels.
- Importers and distributors: must verify compliance, provide information within 10 working days, and ensure communication channels.
- Non-EU manufacturers: must appoint an authorised representative in the EU before placing products on the market.
- Retailers selling refill detergents: responsible for handing out leaflets or affixing stickers with label information.
- End-users: benefit from clearer physical labels and digital access to additional information.

Detergents are a part of everyday life for all Union citizens. Given the weaknesses identified in the 2019 evaluation of the Detergents Regulation, and the fact that a coherent and stable regulatory framework is essential to accelerate the green and digital transitions, the Rapporteur welcomes the Commission’s 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 rapporteur, considering the shared and exclusive competences of the IMCO Committee, tabled amendments focusing primarily in three different areas: CE Marking, Digital Product Passport and Digital Labelling.
The rapporteur has drafted this Opinion having regard to five major guiding principles: consumer protection, reduction of administrative burden/bureaucracy, simplification of requirements, transparency and fostering innovation.
The CE marking is a tool designed to demonstrate conformity with applicable rules. According to those rules, conformity assessments and declarations of compliance with EU legislation are responsibilities of the manufacturers, without prior examination by the competent authorities. Furthermore, the digital product passport will be the tool by which manufacturers demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Regulation. Considering these facts, the rapporteur believes that the CE marking would not add value to the product and it would not protect consumers, leading instead to more bureaucracy, increasing the administrative burden and duplicating compliance procedures. Consequently, the rapporteur has proposed to delete it.
The Commission’s intention is to create a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for each batch. However, in order to ensure more efficiency and reduce the administrative burden, the rapporteur proposes instead that the DPP should be specific to each product model. Nevertheless, the rapporteur also proposes the possibility of a new product passport for a particular batch, namely if the product formulation or composition has changed.
The rapporteur further proposes that the DPP should coexist harmoniously, through synergies, with other product passports provided for in other legislation, by having a single digital product passport that combines the different elements required by the different pieces of Union legislation.
In order to protect consumers, the rapporteur proposes a hybrid labelling system, which includes a physical label and a digital label in order to increase readability and ensure simplification of the label. The physical label shall include information on dosage, health and safety information and information about the manufacturer, in a simpler and legible way, while the digital label shall include all the other relevant information. Instead of having overcrowded labels that are difficult to read, the rapporteur aims for an increased understanding, readability, accessibility, and improved effectiveness of the communication of safety and use information regarding end-users.
The rapporteur understands that both the digital label and the digital product passport shall be accessed through the same data carrier.
The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection calls on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, as the committee responsible, to take the following into account:
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (17) To facilitate compliance of the manufacturers with their obligations under this Regulation, manufacturers established in the Union should be allowed to appoint an authorised representative to carry out specific tasks on their behalf. Moreover, to ensure a clear and proportionate distribution of responsibilities between the manufacturer and the authorised representative it is necessary to set out the list of tasks that manufacturers should be allowed to entrust the authorised representative with. Further, to ensure the enforceability and effectiveness of the market surveillance requirements and that only compliant detergents and surfactants are placed on the Union market, the appointment of an authorised representative should be mandatory when the manufacturer is established outside of the Union. | (17) To facilitate compliance of the manufacturers with their obligations under this Regulation, manufacturers established in the Union should be allowed to appoint an authorised representative to carry out specific tasks on their behalf. Such an appointment should be valid only when accepted in writing by the authorised representative.

| (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 and, where relevant, the CE marking are available for inspection by the competent national authorities. Provision should also be made for importers to ensure that a product passport is available for those products. | (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.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (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, where available, electronic means of communication through which they can be contacted. | (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 email address. |

| (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. | deleted |

| (26) Labels communicate important use and safety information to users, such as the presence of skin or respiratory sensitisers (e.g. allergenic fragrances, preservatives or enzymes) in detergents and surfactants. By providing information on the content of those substances on the labels of detergents and surfactants, it is possible for users with allergies or allergic predispositions to make informed choices, and potential reactions related to the use of detergents and surfactants are thus reduced. It is therefore necessary to establish labelling requirements for detergents and surfactants. | (26) Labels communicate important use, health and safety information to users, such as the presence of skin or respiratory sensitisers (e.g. allergenic fragrances, preservatives or enzymes) in detergents and surfactants.

| (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 subject to certain conditions to ensure a high level of protection of detergents’ users. | (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.

| (31 a) Digital labelling could increase readability, ease of use and understandability of labels for consumers, including vulnerable and visually impaired consumers. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (32) To avoid imposing an unnecessary administrative burden for economic operators 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. | (32) To avoid imposing an unnecessary administrative burden for economic operators the simplification of the labelling requirements under this Regulation would be beneficial for the industry and end-users. Furthermore, the elimination of duplicated information requirements related to emergency health response would further reduce costs and regulatory burden for detergents manufacturers. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (34) An exception should, nevertheless, be made for detergents sold to end-users in a refill format. In order to fully reap not only the benefits offered by digitalisation but also the large environmental benefits in terms of reduction of packaging and related packaging waste that the practice of refill sales offers, it should be permitted to provide all labelling information digitally with the exception of dosage instructions for consumer laundry detergents. | (34) An exception should, nevertheless, be made for detergents sold to end-users in a refill format.

| (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. | (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 jeopardizing the protection of confidential business information.

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. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (39 a) To avoid costs to companies and the public that are disproportionate to the wider benefits, the product passport should, as a default, be specific to the product model which includes a combination of the product name along with the unique formula of the detergent. Where appropriate and when there are substantial changes to the formula or when there are compositional differences according to the batch, the product passport should be specific to the batch. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (43) When other Union legislation applicable to detergents or surfactants requires a product passport, a single product passport should be available for detergents and surfactants containing the information required under this Regulation and the other Union legislation. | (43) When other Union legislation applicable to detergents or surfactants requires a product passport, a single product passport should be available for detergents and surfactants containing the information required under this Regulation and the other Union legislation. Furthermore, the technical design of the product passport for detergents and surfactants should fulfil only requirements according to this Regulation and it should be avoided that further technical design criteria should be required according to product passport rules of other legislative acts. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (44) It is crucial to make clear to both manufacturers and users that by creating the product passport for detergent or surfactant and, where relevant, by affixing the CE marking, the manufacturer declares that the detergent or surfactant is in conformity with all applicable requirements and that the manufacturer takes full responsibility thereof. | (44) It is crucial to make clear to both manufacturers and users that by creating the product passport for detergent or surfactant the manufacturer declares that the detergent or surfactant is in conformity with all applicable requirements and that the manufacturer takes full responsibility thereof. |

| (62) This Regulation introduces the possibility of providing all or part of the mandatory labelling requirements only in digital labels in certain situations and requires the creation of a digital product passport for detergents and surfactants. It is, therefore, necessary to provide for sufficient time for economic operators to comply with their obligations under this Regulation, for Member States to set up the administrative infrastructure necessary for its application and for the Commission to prepare the implementation of the product passport’s technical requirements. Consequently, the application of this Regulation should be deferred to a date where those preparations can reasonably be finalised. | (62) This Regulation introduces the possibility of providing part of the mandatory labelling requirements only in digital label and requires the creation of a digital product passport for detergents and surfactants.
