New opinions open for comments on SCCS

SCCS comments

SCCS published a couple of new opinions that are currently open for SCCS comments: http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/opinions/index_en.htm.

The one that could affect a lot of products on the market is the proposed ban of butylphenyl methylpropional, which hasn\’t been found safe by the SCCS. Butylphenyl methylpropional is an allergen that is a part of many perfumes, so keep an eye on the final SCCS opinion or provide your comments by 1o November 2015, and then check whether this opinion would affect your products.

The Opinions in this section have been developed by the SCCS on the basis of a specific set of data (dossier) submitted by an applicant (e.g. Industry, Member State authorities, etc) in order to satisfy specific regulatory requirements.

Comments should be sent to the following mailbox only: SANTE-C2-SCCS AT ec.europa.eu
