MarketEuropean UnionDetergent Labelling Check (Reg. EC 648/2004 & EU 2026/405)
Know which constituents need a weight-percentage band or an allergen listing on pack, before the artwork is signed off.
Which market this reads
What this check reads: European Union. No other market is covered.
Reads Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 Annex VII and Regulation (EU) 2026/405. No US or UK detergent labelling rule is read, so the constituent classes and thresholds returned are the EU ones.
What it does
Screens detergent constituent classes, fragrance allergens, phosphorus limits, and microbial safety criteria against EU Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 and Regulation (EU) 2026/405.
