(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1284) ("the Principal Regulations") to give effect to Commission Directive 2011/59/EU (OJ No L 125, 14.5.2011, p 17). The Commission Directive amends Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 (OJ No L 262, 27.9.1976, p 169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on cosmetic products ("the Cosmetics Directive"). The Cosmetics Directive (as previously amended) has been implemented by the Principal Regulations.
Regulation 2(2) adds the Commission Directive to Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations, namely, the list of Directives implemented by the Principal Regulations.
Regulation 2(3) amends Schedule 3 to the Principal Regulations (list of substances which must not form part of the composition of cosmetic products (unless otherwise specified)) by adding an additional substance to the list of prohibited substances.
Regulation 2(4) amends Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations (list of substances which cosmetic products must not contain except subject to restrictions and conditions), by including substances used in hair dye products, the use of which was previously only provisionally allowed.
Regulation 2(5) amends Part 2 of Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations (substances listed in Part 2 of Annex III to the Cosmetics Directive which are provisionally allowed) by removing references to the substances used in hair dye products to be included in Part 1 of Schedule 4 by virtue of regulation 2(4) and to extend the period for the provisional use of two substances used in hair dye products until 31.12.2011.
A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Advanced Manufacturing and Services Group, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET. As these Regulations transpose a Directive, a transposition note setting out how the Government has transposed the Directive in the United Kingdom has been prepared. These documents are published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
1987 c.43. Section 11(1) has been amended by S.I. 2005/1803, and section 11(5) has been amended by S.I. 2008/960.
S.I. 2008/1284, as amended by S.I. 2008/2173, 2008/2566, 2009/796, 2009/1346, 2009/2562, 2009/3367, 2010/1150, 2010/1927, 2011/881 as regards England and SI 2011/2377 (W.250) as regards Wales; there is another amending instrument but it is not relevant.
