SCHEDULE 6U.K.LIST OF PRESERVATIVES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS

In this Schedule, the matters specified in columns 3, 4, 5 and 6 which apply to a particular substance are those set out to the right of its name as mentioned in column 2; and the matters specified in column 4, 5 and 6 which apply in any particular case are those set out to the right of the matter specified in column 3 which applies in that case. The substance may not be used or contained other than in the types of product specified in column 3. The concentration of the substance, when it is used as a preservative, in a product may not exceed the limit set out in column 4. Where a product is intended to be mixed with another product in specified proportions before use, the level of concentration shall not calculated by reference to the mixture. Other requirements are specified in column 5.

In column 4 of this Schedule, “A” indicates that the concentration of the substance in a product may exceed the limit set out in that column provided that —

(b)the presence of any excess of the substance in a product over the concentration so set out is not for the primary purpose of inhibiting the development of micro-organisms; and

(c)the purpose for which any such excess is present in the product is apparent from the labelling of the product.

In this Schedule—

“salt” means salts of the cations sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium and ethanolamines and of the anions chloride, bromide, sulphate and acetate;

“ester” means esters of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and phenyl.

In column 4 of this Schedule, the percentage concentration is measured by reference to mass (m/m) unless a contrary intention appears.

All preservative substances containing formaldehyde or any substances named in this Schedule which release formaldehyde must be labelled with the warning “contains formaldehyde” when the concentration of formaldehyde in the final product exceeds 0.05 per cent.

Names which appear in square brackets in column 2 of this Schedule are the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient names of the substances in question given in the inventory of ingredients employed in cosmetic products drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Directive and contained in Commission Decision 96/335/EC (23).

Regulation 1(3) provides that until 24th March 2005 entry 36 in Part 1 of this Schedule shall be inserted into Part 1 of this Schedule as it appears in the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2003(24). From 24th March 2004 entry 36 shall have effect as it appears in Part 1 of this schedule.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations revoke and re-enact the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/835) (“the 2003 Regulations”). The 2003 Regulations give effect to Council Directive 76/768/EEC (O.J. No. L262, 27.9.76, p.169) (“the Directive”) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products, as amended by the Community instruments listed in Schedule 2 to these Regulations.

These Regulations also give effect for the first time to Council Directive 2003/15/EC (O.J. L66, 11.3.2003, p.26) which amends Directive 67/548/EEC for the 7th time, as follows:

(a)Prohibit the supply of cosmetic products where the final formulation or ingredients have been tested on animals using a method other than an “alternative method”. The Regulations also introduce an outright prohibition in respect of the supply of cosmetic products after specified dates (2009 and 2013);

(b)Prohibit the testing of “finished cosmetic products” on animals with immediate effect;

(c)Prohibit the testing of ingredients for use in cosmetic products after specified dates;

(d)Introduce provisions governing the use by cosmetic product manufacturers of claims in respect of animal testing;

(e)Prohibit the use in cosmetic products of substances which are classified under directive 67/548/EEC as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (and listed in the approved supply list) subject to an exemption in respect of substances which have been evaluated as safe by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products(40);

(f)Requires manufacturers to label products with a symbol (contained in Schedule 9, Part 2) indicating the time after opening after which the product may harm the consumer (this only applies to products with a minimum durability of more than 30 months);

(g)Requires certain perfumes and aromatic compositions to be specifically listed on product packaging;

(h)Requires a specific safety assessment to be undertaken in respect of cosmetic products intended for children or for intimate hygiene;

(i)Inserts further entries into Schedule 4 to these Regulations;

These Regulations also give effect to Council Directive 2003/80/EC (O.J. No. 224, 6.9.2003, p.27) which amends the Directive for the 30th time. Directive 2003/80/EC amends the Directive by inserting a new Annex VIIIa containing a symbol to be used by manufacturers to indicate the time after opening after which the product may harm the consumer (as required by Directive 2003/15/EC).

These Regulations also give effect to Council Directive 2003/83 (O.J. No. L238, 25.9.2003, p.23) which amends the Directive by inserting, deleting or amending entries in Annexes II, III and VI. These Regulations make appropriate amendments to Schedules 3,4 and 6, which implement those Annexes. Directive 2003/83/EC requires Member States to ensure that cosmetic products, which fail to comply with that directive, shall not be placed on the market from 24th March 2005 and that they shall not be supplied to the final consumer from 24th September 2005. Accordingly, regulations 1(3) and 1(4) provide that newly inserted or amended entries in the schedules to the regulations shall not have effect until 24th March 2005. Equally, these regulations provide that certain entries, which are amended or deleted by 2003/83, shall continue to operate in their existing form (i.e. as they appear in the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2003) until 24th March 2005. Regulation 16(3) provides that no proceedings or enforcement action shall be taken in respect of the new or amended entries where the cosmetic product in question is placed on the market before 24th March 2005 and is supplied before 24th September 2005.
