Simplifying Art. 33 (2) requests for consumers - New web tool launched in Germany

Consumers can now check if a product contains substances of very high concern (SVHCs) included in the candidate list by typing a barcode ID of the product online. A request for information is sent automatically via email to the manufacturer or the importer. This new online service was recently published by the German Environmental Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA) and Friends of the Earth Germany. The tool was mainly developed by an enterprise hosting a database for products of more than 140 000 clients including contact data of a responsible person. By the end of the year, the tool will be available as an application for smart phones. The request for information will then be created automatically when scanning the E-tin. Although the website is only available in German, requests have also been provided in English.
