Our services are characterized by an individual approach to the client and this is also reflected in our price structure.

In addition to the standard labeling elements of the CLP regulation, the detergent label will also include additional ingredient information in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 based on an analysis of the product's composition, taking into account, among other things, the surfactants, fragrances or preservatives used. Where applicable, dosage information will also be required. The product label should also include the website address where the Ingredient Datasheet for the product can be found.

Detergents, like other chemical products marketed in the European Union, are subject to the CLP Regulation and the REACH Regulation. Thus, a safety data sheet and label will be required for them as standard, and for those detergents that will be classified as posing a risk to human health or due to their physicochemical properties, PCN notifications will also be required. For this group of products, however, there are also additional formal and documentation requirements under Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004,to include:

• ensuring that the surfactants used in the detergent are biodegradable in accordance with the requirements of the regulation
• including additional labeling elements regarding product formulation or dosage (for certain types of detergents)
• preparing an Ingredient Datasheet

All of the above requirements must be met by any entity that wants to market detergents in the territory of the European Union.

According to Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004, a detergent is defined as "any substance or preparation containing soaps and/or other surfactants intended for washing and cleaning processes. Detergents may be in any form (liquid, powder, paste, bar, cake, moulded piece, shape, etc.) and marketed for or used in household, or institutional or industrial purposes." 
In addition, the regulation also indicates that the following products should also be considered detergents:

• "Auxiliary washing preparation" intended for soaking (pre-washing), rinsing or bleaching clothes, household linen, etc.
• "Laundry fabric-softener," intended to modify the feel of fabrics in processes which are to complement the washing of fabric.
• "Cleaning preparation" intended for domestic all purposes cleaners and/or other cleaning of surfaces (e.g.: materials, products, machinery, mechanical appliances, means of transport and associated equipment, instruments, apparatus, etc.
• “Other cleaning and washing preparations”, intended for any other washing and cleaning processes.

Thus, the definition of detergent is broad and covers most products which application will be in any kind of cleaning or washing, whether in the household, in application to automobiles (automotive chemicals) or in industrial cleaning.
