As far as cosmetics are concerned, this consultation covers nano synthetic amorphous silicas without surface modification, which have been assigned CAS numbers:
• 112945-52-5
• 112926-00-8
The INCIs “Silica” and “Hydrated silica” fall within this scope.
These substances are not currently regulated by European Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, nor listed in Annex VI of European CLP Regulation 1272/2008.

The Netherlands proposes the following classification.
