(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1284) (“the Principal Regulations”) to give effect to Council Directive 2011/84/EU amending Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annex III thereto to technical progress (OJ No L 283, 29.10.2011, p.36). The Principal Regulations implemented Council Directive 76/768/EEC (OJ No L 262, 27.9.1976, p.169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products.
Regulation 2(a) adds Council Directive 2011/84/EU to the list in Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations of Directives implemented by those Regulations.
Regulation 2(b) substitutes the entry in the Schedule for entry 12 in Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations. This increases the percentage of hydrogen peroxide allowed in tooth whitening or bleaching products to 6% subject to conditions which include first use by a dental practitioner.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector is foreseen.
