As a consequence, and based on additional safety data, the SCCS revised its Scientific Opinion. The final version was adopted on July 29th and published a few days later on the SCCS website (<a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/health\/scientific_committees\/consumer_safety\/docs\/sccs_o_174.pdf\">SCCS\/1549\/15<\/a>). It now concludes that the use of D5 in cosmetic products is safe except:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When used in hair styling aerosols and sun care spray products.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the level of D4 is \u2018too high\u2019. Therefore, the level of impurity of D4 as an impurity of Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) should be kept as low as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The revision of this Opinion is a good news as it maintains the use of D5 in body lotions. Furthermore, the final Opinion is less stringent regarding the tolerated level of D4 as an impurity of D5, leaving a bit more flexibility for the management of these traces.<\/p>\n<p>This Opinion should be transposed into the legislation, which always takes a lot of time. It would be premature to estimate a date for the publication of an amendment to the Cosmetics Regulation. However, two to three years is the average period of time necessary for such a regulatory development.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know Prospector includes Regulatory Data?<\/h3>\n<p>Learn more about Regulatory Snapshots available on over 16,000 Personal Care &amp; Cosmetics product profile pages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/pcc-regulatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nClick Here<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>The ECHA Restriction <\/b><\/p>\n<p>On March 11, 2016 the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) and ECHA Socio-economic Analysis Committee (SEAC) released a joint report in which they both agreed that the restriction proposal of D4 and D5 at 0.1% in wash-off products submitted by the UK is appropriate (leave-on products and wipes are out of the scope of this development).<\/p>\n<p>A public consultation took place and the Cosmetic Industry submitted many comments against this regulatory development. Based on this input, RAC and SEAC made some modifications and clarifications to the justification of a <a href=\"https:\/\/echa.europa.eu\/documents\/10162\/23ca076a-9cd8-4baf-8b76-15a0b71ad869\">Joint Opinion<\/a> but adopted it mainly unchanged in June. Furthermore, RAC and SEAC confirmed their view that the restriction of the use of D4 and D5 in &#8220;wash-off&#8221; personal care products should be effective two years after publication in the official journal. In my opinion, it is very likely that this restriction of D4 and D5 at 0.1% in wash-off products will be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The two Opinions of the ECHA Committees contribute to the decision of the European Commission, who will then take a balanced view of the identified risks and of the benefits and costs of the proposed restriction. Within three months of receipt of the two Committees&#8217; Opinions, the Commission will provide a draft amendment of the list of restrictions in Annex XVII of REACH. The final decision is taken in a comitology procedure with scrutiny involving the Member States and the European Parliament. The full process usually takes one to two years before a publication of an amendment to the REACH Regulation. Then, and as proposed by the RAC and the SEAC, the transition period for implementing this restriction once the legislation is amended should be two years.<\/p>\n<p>About the Author<br \/>\nAbout BIORIUS<br \/>\nAbout the Author<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"aboutauthor\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2016\/08\/Picture-Fred-Lebreux.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"158\" \/>Fred Lebreux holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and a master in management.
