Air fresheners, reed diffusers and car fragrances
Room sprays, reed diffusers, fragrance oils and car fragrances are often classified as hazardous. We clarify classification, label, child-resistant closure and poison centre notification for selling your product in the EU.
Send enquiryWhich obligations apply to air fresheners?
Air fresheners are chemical mixtures and fall under the CLP Regulation. The formula is decisive: fragrance oils often contain skin-sensitising substances, diffuser liquids are often flammable or eye-irritating, and many fragrances are harmful to aquatic life. This results in a label, a safety data sheet and usually a poison centre notification with UFI code, all required before sale in the EU.
What matters for each product
- Reed diffusers and fragrance oils: if the liquid contains hydrocarbons, it may be classified as an aspiration hazard (H304). A child-resistant fastening and a tactile warning of danger are then mandatory when the product is sold to consumers. The tactile warning also applies to flammable liquids of category 1 and 2.
- Room sprays: as aerosols they also need labelling under the Aerosol Dispensers Directive and are classified as aerosols under CLP.
- Car fragrances: fragrance gel in a tin and liquid fragrance dispensers are mixtures with full CLP labelling. We check whether your product is a mixture or an article.
- Allergy statement: if a skin-sensitising fragrance is present below the classification limit but at 0.1 % or more, statement EUH208 is required.
- Advertising claims: claims such as “antibacterial” or “kills germs” can turn an air freshener into a biocidal product, with its own obligations.
