Commission Directive 2010/4/EU
of 8 February 2010
amending, for the purpose of adaptation to technical progress, Annex III to Council Directive 76/768/EEC concerning cosmetic products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,
Whereas:
(1) Presently, there are two non-oxidative hair dye substances which are provisionally allowed for use in cosmetic products until 31 December 2010 under the restrictions and conditions laid down in Part 2 of Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC.
(2) For these two non-oxidative hair dye substances, HC Orange No 2 and 2-hydroxyethylamino-5-nitroanisole, listed under reference Nos 26 and 29 in Part 2 of Annex III, the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (hereinafter ‘SCCS’) gave its final opinions on their safety. The SCCS recommended maximum authorised concentrations in the finished cosmetic product of 1,0 % for HC Orange No 2 and of 0,2 % for 2-hydroxyethylamino-5-nitroanisole. Therefore, HC Orange No 2 and 2-hydroxyethylamino-5-nitroanisole can be definitively regulated in Part 1 of Annex III.
(3) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In view of a smooth transition for the marketing of products containing HC Orange No 2 not complying with the labelling requirements laid down in this Directive, it is necessary to provide for appropriate transitional periods.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
