Comparing Israel’s Draft Pharmacists’ Regulations (Cosmetics) 2012-5773 & Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 on Cosmetic Products of the European Union

Workshop postponed to a date in 2015

The EU's Cosmetics Regulation represents a model framework for many national legislators worldwide, where they either adopt certain of the modules or the structure of the Regulation in full, respectively of the predecessor legislation, the Cosmetics Directive. This applies as well to the new Pharmacists’ Regulations (Cosmetics) 2012-5773 of Israel. CONUSBAT’s workshop will focus on the EU’s regulatory modules of importance in this context, depict the specific provisions and explain how to approach compliance.

Organisation: Bioforum - We will inform about date and location as soon as available

How European Cosmetics Legislation influences Regulatory Frameworks World-wide

New article written by Annelie Struessmann

The EU implemented a new regulatory framework for cosmetics, which clarified and extended a modular approach taken from the earlier directive and at the same time changed the legal procedure to direct validity over all Member States. Regulatory modules, including the safety assessment, notification, GMP, substance regulation, cosmetovigilance, etc., can be easily transferred into other countries’ legislation, which is wanted in view of more harmonized international requirements. It has successfully happened with the highest acceptance worldwide accounting to the element of substance regulation.

Meeting the CLP Deadline of June 1, 2015

CONUSBAT performs all services towards compliance with the re-classification deadline of June 1, 2015 and possesses 'Proof of Expertise' according to §5 (ChemProhReg/Chem VerbotsV).

The European Union’s adaptation of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures which entered into force on January 20, 2009. Since December 1, 2010, CLP applied to all substances and a new deadline comes up on June 1, 2015. This is the day when the classification rules from CLP will become fully applicable for chemical mixtures. Also effective on June 1, 2015, the old Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC will be repealed. All suppliers of cosmetic ingredients will have to comply with the CLP classification rules for their products.

After the ‘ICIS Surfactants Conference’ in Berlin

CONUSBAT on 'Surfactants in Cosmetic Products'

While key areas for surfactant application are detergents & household cleaners, most cosmetics contain surfactants as well, using their various functions. However, for cosmetics as well the biggest surfactant consumption applies to the cleaning function used mainly in personal care products.

Surfactants, as all ingredients for cosmetic products, have to comply with REACH & CLP. Therefore, we wish to remind about the upcoming deadlines for re-classification of mixtures under CLP (2015) and for the final registration under REACH (2018).

Safety Assessment for Cosmetics in Europe

Report about the In-Cosmetics workshop on March 29, 2011 in Milano

Starting January 11, 2012, the new notification requirements according to the Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 will become effective. All cosmetic products must be notified to a central European portal, including those that have already been notified under the provisions of the old legal framework, the Cosmetics Directive. With the notification, the Cosmetics Product Safety Report, containing the Safety Assessment, must be available in a written format according to the Regulation’s provisions in Annex I. The final deadline for the retroactive notification will be July 11, 2013.

The In-Cosmetics workshop provided an overview of the legal and scientific facts constituting the requirements to perform a safety assessment. Basic for the workshop’s approach was the EU Commission’s scientific committees ‘Notes of Guidance for the Testing of Cosmetic Ingredients and their Safety Evaluation’, in its 6th Revision from 2006 and in its 7th Edition, which was released in April 2011. Accordingly, defined as fundamental for the safety of cosmetic products is the safety of its ingredients. A two channel assessment approach for ingredients exists in Europe. Either they are officially evaluated and regulated in the annexes of the cosmetics’ frameworks or, applicable for all other ingredients, an individual evaluation is required and needs to be performed by safety assessors in the cosmetic companies. The new Cosmetics Regulation clearly defines in its Annex I the challenges for the individual safety assessment and requires also that the information and assessment results have to be available in a written format when notifying the products.
