Regulatory Compliance for Detergents and Cleaning Products
Consumer and professional cleaning agents: CLP, REACH, and detergent regulation.
Overview
Why Detergents and Cleaning Products Require Specific Compliance
Your detergents and cleaning products are subject to CLP, REACH, and the EU Detergent Regulation. Consumer and professional products need compliant labels, safety data sheets, and often poison centre notifications. Ingredient disclosure and claims must align with the rules.
We support you with classification, SDS, labelling, detergent-specific requirements, and multi-market compliance.

“The creation of the sheets went very fast, the translation into other languages was no problem and the quality is very high. Now I can focus my work on the development of new products and I don't have to care about safety data sheets.”
