Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation simplifies rules for chemical products, cosmetics, and fertilisers, focusing on digital contacts, label flexibility, and reduced administrative burdens. It extends label update deadlines, allows reduced labelling for small packages and ink cartridges, and adjusts advertisement and distance sale requirements. For cosmetics, it streamlines CMR substance derogations, sets new transition periods, and requires digital labelling for distance sales. For fertilisers, it aligns REACH registration, introduces criteria for assessing micro-organisms, and promotes digital declarations of conformity.

Committee position. The joint committee proposes to amend the Commission proposal, introducing changes to labelling, digital contacts, derogation procedures, and fertiliser rules as detailed in the amendments.

Key points

  1. Suppliers must provide a digital contact on labels, which can replace the telephone number if directly accessible through it.
  2. Label update deadline after new classification is extended from six months to eighteen months, with voluntary early application allowed.
  3. Label formatting rules are simplified, requiring legibility with specific font sizes (x-height at least 1.2 mm, or 0.9 mm for packages up to 125 ml).
  4. Advertisements to the general public must include the sentence 'Always read the label and product information before use' and either hazard pictograms or signal word; professional ads are exempt under conditions.
  5. Distance sales offers must clearly show label elements; this applies to consumer offers and professional offers if the general public can conclude a contract.
  6. Ink cartridges up to 150 ml can have reduced labelling, with further reductions for those up to 30 ml.
  7. For cosmetics, CMR substance derogations require SCCS safety evaluation, and alternatives must reduce overall risk, provide equivalent function, and be feasible.
  8. Transition periods for placing and making available cosmetic products with prohibited CMR substances vary: 6/15 months without derogation, 3/12 months if unsafe, 24/48 months if alternatives available.
  9. Cosmetic products containing nanomaterials require notification to the Commission with identification and specification details.
  10. Distance sales of cosmetics must clearly show labelling information.
  11. For fertilisers, substances in EU fertilising products must be registered under REACH with tonnage-based information requirements.
  12. The Commission may adopt delegated acts to set criteria for assessing micro-organisms and other materials for fertilising products, with deadlines for first acts.

Who is affected

  • Suppliers of hazardous substances and mixtures must adapt labels to include digital contacts and meet new formatting rules.
  • Cosmetic manufacturers and responsible persons face new notification and labelling requirements for nanomaterials and distance sales.
  • Fertiliser producers and importers must provide digital contacts and electronic declarations of conformity, and comply with REACH registration.
  • Online marketplaces and distance sellers must display labelling information for cosmetics and hazardous products.

Figures and deadlines

  • 18 months from entry into force for Commission assessment on label reductions for packages between 10 and 125 ml.
  • 18 months to update labels after new classification, with voluntary early application.
  • x-height at least 1.2 mm for general public labels, 0.9 mm for packages up to 125 ml.
  • Ink cartridges up to 150 ml for reduced labelling, up to 30 ml for further reductions.
  • 6 months placing and 15 months making available for cosmetics with prohibited CMR substances without derogation; 3 and 12 months if unsafe; 24 and 48 months if alternatives available.
  • 12 months for SCCS opinion on plant-derived substances, extendable by 6 months, with 6 months for final opinion after additional data.
  • 5 years for importers to keep EU declaration of conformity for fertilising products.
  • 12 months after entry into force for Commission to adopt delegated act on criteria for new material categories.
