The hygiene products category includes items with a wide variety of compositions and purposes. Accordingly, product labelling, safety, advertising, and other requirements are determined based on the individual parameters of the product.
The labelling of hygiene products includes words, data, trademarks, registered product names, and other information related to the product. Each element of the labelling (including the product’s function, instructions for use, safety warnings, details of the responsible person, and batch number) must comply with the requirements of state authorities and the EU legislation and be presented in a clearly understandable form. All labelling texts must also be accurately translated into the official language of the country to which the product is supplied.

Hygiene product labelling: what to pay attention to?
When importing products from non-EU countries, a proper translation is not enough – it is necessary to evaluate the composition and wording of the name, as well as claims that may be inappropriate in other markets.
Labels must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of each market to which the product is supplied. This is particularly relevant when you want to start supplying several EU countries at the same time.
Countries where we provide this service
The regulation of hygiene products is closely linked to national requirements. We advise on various issues, help find the best solution, and ensure legal compliance of products in the Baltic States, Poland, and other countries (subject to separate agreement). We also involve reliable, long-standing foreign partners in multilateral projects to ensure full legal compliance with national legislation.
Why is it worth contacting experts?
In the practice of labelling hygiene products, there may be cases where the same product falls under double regulation (e.g., wet wipes, where the liquid is classified as a cosmetic and the applicator (wipe) as a general product). Another confusing aspect is the regulation and labelling of materials (e.g., plastic) contained in product packaging.
INTRA VIRES experts will help you accurately identify these and other regulatory nuances and consistently comply with all product requirements. We will also share best practices and other recommendations based on our many years of experience to ensure that the regulatory process is smooth and high-quality, and that your product ends up on the right shelf.
