Webinars
Clean Products, New Rules
What the Detergent and Surfactant Regulation (EU) 2026/405 means for your business

Wednesday 22nd April, online, 14:00 - 15:30 BST

The EU’s new Detergents Regulation (EU) 2026/405 represents the most significant overhaul of detergents legislation in over 20 years, replacing Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 and reshaping how detergents and surfactants are placed on the EU market. This practical, industry focused webinar will explain the changes and new obligations, unpack the implementation and transition timelines and translate the legal text into clear and actionable compliance steps.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for professionals across the detergent and surfactant value chain, including manufacturers, importers, formulators and regulatory or compliance specialists. It will be particularly relevant for those responsible for setting regulatory strategy, overseeing product compliance, or managing the day to day practical requirements of placing detergents on the EU market, who need a clear, workable understanding of the new Detergents Regulation and its real world implications.
