In order to enable citizens to make informed consumption choices, the legislator wanted to improve information on the presence of substances with endocrine disrupting properties in products. To do so, the information must be made available to the public in a dematerialised format according to the conditions of presentation specified by Order.

Article 13-II of Law No 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on combating waste and on the circular economy, known as “AGEC”, provides that any person placing products on the market for consumers containing substances for which the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) classifies the endocrine disrupting properties as verified or suspected must “provide information to the public by electronic means, in an open, easily reusable and exploitable format by an automated processing system, for each of the products concerned, to identify the presence of such substances in those products”. This obligation also applies to certain categories of products with a particular risk of exposure, for substances which endocrine disrupting properties are suspected by ANSES.
