| * __For textile producers__: check whether algae-derived fibres you wish to use require a new fibre name application under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. If marketing products with antimicrobial properties, assess whether the BPR treated-article regime applies before making any antimicrobial claim. | * __For textile producers__: check whether algae-derived fibres you wish to use require a new fibre name application under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 [[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02011R1007-20180215|EURlex]].

| * __For detergent ingredient producers__: algae-derived surfactants have a structural biodegradability advantage; document this to support compliance with Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 requirements [[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02004R0648-20150601|EURlex]].

| * __For producers of algae with antimicrobial properties__: decide early and explicitly whether you intend to make antimicrobial claims. If not, ensure your commercial communications — including technical data sheets, websites and sales presentations — contain no language that could trigger BPR classification. If yes, assess whether the active substance is on the BPR Union List and budget for the authorisation pathway accordingly. | * __For producers of algae with antimicrobial properties__: decide early and explicitly whether you intend to make antimicrobial claims.
