On April 12, 2022, the European Commission submitted notification G/TBT/N/EU/886 to WTO to amend Annexes III and VI of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009
The measures proposed by the draft Commission Regulation are part of the on-going and regular adaptations of the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (Cosmetics Regulation).

- establishing restrictions in Annex III for the substance 'Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)', used as antioxidant in cosmetic products;
- establishing restriction in Annex III for the substance 'Acid Yellow 3', used as hair dye;
- amending the existing labelling requirements in Annex III for the substance 'Resorcinol', used as hair dye;
- authorizing by listing in Annex VI the substance 'Bis-(Diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl Benzoyl) Piperazine (HAA299)' for use as a UV filter in cosmetic products; and
