European Union | Draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 as regards the use in cosmetic products of certain substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction



Title of document
Draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use in cosmetic products of certain substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction and correcting that Regulation. (5 page(s), in English; 8 page(s), in English)

Description
The draft measure is required to enact the prohibition to use as cosmetic ingredients substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR) by Commission Regulation (EU) No 2020/1182, which has been adopted based on the CLP Regulation and will apply from 17 December 2022. The adoption of this draft Regulation is, therefore, needed to reflect in the Cosmetics Regulation the new CMRs classification provided by Commission Regulation (EU) No 2020/1182. In addition, in order to ensure legal certainty and a high level of protection of human health, entry 1669 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 has been deleted and entry 51 of Annex V has been corrected to reflect the wording used in notes 8 and 9 to the CMR classification and the correct chemical name of the substance ‘Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate.
