Compliance for Retail and FMCG
Detergents, cosmetics, fragrances, and consumer products on the EU market.
Overview
Why Retail and FMCG Companies Require Specific Compliance
You place a wide range of chemical-containing products on the market: detergents, cosmetics, fragrances, and other consumer goods. Each category has its own regulatory framework and labelling rules.
We support you with CLP compliance, safety data sheets, detergent and cosmetics regulation, and poison centre notifications so your products can be sold safely and legally across the EU.
Regulatory framework
Key Regulations
CLP
Classification and labelling of hazardous mixtures; consumer-facing labels and packaging.
Detergent regulation
Ingredient disclosure and labelling requirements for detergents.
Cosmetics regulation
Safety assessments, PIF, CPNP; ingredient restrictions and claims.
REACH
Substance restrictions and communication in formulations.
Poison centre notification
UFI/PCN for hazardous consumer mixtures.
Practical challenges
Typical Compliance Challenges
- Managing multiple product categories under different rules
- Consumer-friendly labelling while staying compliant
- Keeping up with ingredient restrictions and updates
- Multilingual labels and SDS for pan-European sales

“Safety data sheets are prepared quickly, often even faster than we agreed, which we really warmly welcome, as it allows us to do our work faster. As our external chemicals consultant, they are always up-to-date and professional.”
