These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2004 (“the Principal Regulations”) to give effect to Commission Directive 2005/80/EC (O.J. No. L303, 22.11.2005, p.32) which amends Council Directive 76/768/EEC (O.J. L262, 27.9.1976, p.169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on cosmetic products (“the Directive”). The Directive has been implemented by the Principal Regulations.
Regulation 2(2) and (3) amends the list of substances which cosmetic products may not contain by adding further substances which are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction. Regulation 2(5) amends the list of substances in Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations which cosmetic products must not contain except subject to restrictions.
A regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on costs to businesses is available from the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET and on the DTI website (www.dti.gov.uk).
