The article deals with the issues of legislative regulation of the safety of household chemicals in the countries of the European Union, the Customs Union and Ukraine. It is established that in the EU at the legislative level there are no regulated medical and biological and sanitary-chemical safety requirements for household chemicals, in particular, for household chemicals intended for the han-dling of products for children; in the countries of the Customs Union, such requirements are legally defined, but they require scientific analysis and revisions; there is no normative act in Ukraine that would provide reasonable health and hygiene requirements for modern household chemicals, and especially for household chemicals intended for the handling of products for children.
