| (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. | (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.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (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 laundry and consumer automatic dishwasher detergents. Similar limitations are not required for other types of detergents either because their contribution is not significant or because suitable alternatives are currently not available. | (10) Phosphorus has been used as an ingredient in detergents. However, phosphorus and its compounds cause significant damage to ecosystems and aquatic environments as they contribute to eutrophication. To ensure a high level of protection of the environment, and reduce the contribution of detergents to that phenomenon, it is necessary to rapidly phase out the use of phosphates and phosphorus compounds in detergents. |

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (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). |

Recital 12 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (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. |
Or. en
Justification
Replaces Amendment 5 on recital 12c(new). Clarification that historical data based on animal testing can be used after the entry into force of the Regulation and adding the sharing of information in the industry.

| (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. | |

| (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. Whenever appropriate, manufacturers and importers should carry out sample testing of the detergents and surfactants that they have made available on the market, in order to protect the health and safety of consumers and the environment. | (13) To ensure a high level of protection of the aspects of public interest, and to guarantee fair competition and facilitate innovation on the internal market, full biodegrability of products should be a common objective. Moreover, 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. Whenever appropriate, manufacturers and importers should carry out sample testing of the detergents and surfactants that they have made available on the market, in order to protect the health and safety of consumers and the environment. |
Or. en
Justification
Non-biodegradable substances used in detergents remain in wastewater after use. Their removal undertaken by wastewater operators is a costly process. Alternatively, they remain in nature, potentially posing a risk to health and the environment. Therefore, a transition towards full biodegradability should become a joint goal.

| (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.

Justification
It is not appropriate to apply the concept of CE marking in this regulation since the actual added value with regard to public health and the environment has not been properly assessed. Moreover, these products are covered by the CLP and REACH Regulations and adding this element in this regulation risks creating a disproportionate administrative burden.

Justification
The benefits of requiring a CE marking for detergent products have not been analysed in the impact assessment. It will however constitute an administrative burden, especially for SMEs. Additionally, the CE marking cannot be seen as a reliable conformity indicator as it relies on the self-assessment of the manufacturer and is prone to counterfeiting.

| (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. | (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.

| (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.

Justification
It is not appropriate to apply the concept of CE marking in this regulation since the actual added value with regard to public health and the environment has not been properly assessed. Moreover, these products are covered by the CLP and REACH Regulation and adding this element in this regulation risks creating a disproportionate administrative burden.

Justification
The benefits of requiring a CE marking for detergent products have not been analysed in the impact assessment. It will however constitute an administrative burden, especially for SMEs. Additionally, the CE marking cannot be seen as a reliable conformity indicator as it relies on the self-assessment of the manufacturer and is prone to counterfeiting.

Justification
The benefits of requiring a CE marking for detergent products have not been analysed in the impact assessment. It will however constitute an administrative burden, especially for SMEs. Additionally, the CE marking cannot be seen as a reliable conformity indicator as it relies on the self-assessment of the manufacturer and is prone to counterfeiting.

Justification
It is not appropriate to apply the concept of CE marking in this regulation since the actual added value with regard to public health and the environment has not been properly assessed. Moreover, these products are covered by the CLP and REACH Regulations and adding this element in this regulation risks creating a disproportionate administrative burden.

Regardless of where and when the DPP is introduced, it is unbearable to implement it at batch level. Having batch level would require creation of thousands of exactly the same DPPs. Hence the proposal to work on the “Model” approach. The Model for Detergents shall be defined as Product name + unique formula (as per the provisions for Unique Formula Identifier (UFI), irrespective of whether a UFI code is required under CLP Annex VIII). If Model is applied, new DPP would be created for each new formulation.

Or. en
Justification
The amendment reflects the goals of the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, combining its two core elements: gradual reduction of the risks to humans and the environment posed by hazardous substances on one side, and stimulating the innovation and transition to green chemistry in the EU on the other. Moreover, the Commission in the CSS promised to extend the generic approach to risk management to ensure that consumer products including detergents do not contain hazardous chemicals.

The benefits of requiring a CE marking for detergent products have not been analysed in the impact assessment. It will however constitute an administrative burden, especially for SMEs.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| 3. Manufacturers shall keep the technical documentation and the product passport for 10 years after the detergent or the surfactant covered by that documentation or product passport has been placed on the market. | 3. Manufacturers shall keep the technical documentation and the product passport for at least 10 years after the detergent or the surfactant covered by that documentation or product passport has been placed on the market. By way of derogation from sentence 1, if the detergent or the surfactant has been placed on the market after the expiry of the 10 year period pursuant to sentence 1, the retention obligation shall not end until 10 years after the manufacturers have placed the detergent or the surfactant on the market for the last time. |
Or. en
Justification
The amendment closes a loophole: Placing on the market is only the first making available on the market. For example, if a product is sold unchanged for 20 years, documents would only be available for 10 years, but the product would be distributed and used for another 10 years. Therefore, in this case, it is better to focus on the last placing on the market by manufacturers.

Justification
The benefits of requiring a CE marking for detergent products have not been analysed in the impact assessment. It will however constitute an administrative burden, especially for SMEs. Additionally, the CE marking cannot be seen as a reliable conformity indicator as it relies on the self-assessment of the manufacturer and is prone to counterfeiting.

Justification
Even if product passports can have a positive impact in other contexts, it is unclear what the added value is to introduce product passports in light of the of the requirements presented in this proposal. The detailed requirements for product passports laid down in this proposal risk increasing the administrative burden disproportionally, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, these products are already covered by the CLP and Reach Regulations with regard to requirements for information and labelling.
