The Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/692 of 16 February 2022 has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 3 May 2022. It is the 18th ATP (Adaptation to Technical and Scientific Progress) of the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances). It concerns a total of 12 ingredients that can be used in cosmetics, and in particular seven of them that are classified as CMR, which threatens their use in cosmetic products in the future. This Regulation shall apply from 1 December 2023.
Article updated on 25 May 2012, following the corrigendum published in the Official Journal of the European Union - L 146/150, amending the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
In its “Whereas”, the text of this Regulation recalls that the new provisions it contains are the consequence of proposals to introduce, update or delete harmonised classification and labelling of certain substances which have been submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Based on the opinions on those proposals issued by the Committee for Risk Assessment of the Agency (RAC) from 5 December 2019 to 10 December 2020, as well as on the comments received from the parties concerned, the harmonised classifications and labelling of several substances, 12 of which may be used in cosmetic products, have therefore been modified for four of them or added for eight others.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 December 2023.
