Digital labelling could improve the communication of labelling information both by avoiding overcrowded physical labels and by allowing users to rely on various reading options available only for digital formats, such as increased font, automatic search, loudspeakers or translation into other languages. Digital labelling could therefore increase readability, ease of use and comprehension of labels for consumers, including vulnerable and visually impaired consumers. The provision of digital labels could also lead to a more efficient management of the labelling obligations by economic operators, by facilitating the update of labelling information, reducing labelling costs and permitting a more targeted provision of information to users. Therefore, economic operators should be allowed to provide certain labelling information for detergents only through the digital label, subject to certain conditions ensuring a high degree of protection for users.
