Abstract
Specific provisions on labeling, the list of the ingredients and ingredient data sheet of detergents were laid down by Regulation (EC) Nº 648/2004 on detergents and, additionally, by Spanish Royal Decree 770/1999. The aim of this study was to check the level of compliance therewith of 30 detergents assessed between 2010 and 2012. The main deficiencies identified were: an inadequate statement of contents on the label (63 %), an insufficient height of the nominal amount (33 %), the absence of one or more of required legends (20 %) and, in detergents sold to the general public, a lack of information about allergenic fragrances (80 %) or preservatives (83 %). The main difficulties in conducting this study were the scant information of safety data sheets and the resistance of manufacturers to provide additional information. A high level of non-compliance (90 %) in the information systems for detergents used both by the general public and by professionals, with the consequent risk to the health of users.The articles published in this journal are subject to the following terms and conditions:
