The European Parliament and the Council have adopted positions aiming to prohibit the sale of products classified as corrosive or eye-irritating (H318, H319, H317) via refill devices. Those classifications are very common on detergents, particularly on laundry detergents, fabric softeners, vinegars, dishwashing liquids, floor cleaners, and black soap. This position alerted many of our members, partners, and stakeholders. In particular, the sectoral organisations at EU and French level, A.I.S.E (International Association for Soaps, Detergents, and Maintenance Products) and FHER (Fédération Hygiène & Entretien Responsable), agree that expanding the ban on refill sales to include products classified as eye hazards would significantly curtail the option for detergents and have adverse effects on environmental objectives.
