MODIFIED +17 −17 Annex I COSMETIC PRODUCT SAFETY REPORT

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.

The heading of section 2 shows a single character substitution, with the word "chemical" rendered as "chěmical" using an accented letter in place of the plain "e".

No other wording in section 2 or elsewhere in Annex I differs between the two texts.

MODIFIED +4,622 −4,486 Annex III LIST OF SUBSTANCES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS LAID DOWN

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.

One footnote wording changed from stating that a restriction applies solely for products which might be used for children under 3 years of age and which remain in prolonged contact with the skin, to stating that it applies solely for products which might be used for children under 3 years of age, removing the reference to prolonged contact with the skin.

A separate footnote also changed from reading 'For use as a preservative, see Annex V, No. 3.' to reading 'For use as a preservative see Annex V, No 3.', a minor punctuation difference.

The remainder of the annex text shown, including the numbered substance entries, appears unchanged between the two versions, and both texts are truncated before the full annex ends.

MODIFIED +341 −90 Annex V LIST OF PRESERVATIVES ALLOWED IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.

Entry 3 for salicylic acid and its salts, which previously listed salicylic acid together with its various salts in a single row sharing one set of conditions, is now split into two separate rows: one for salicylic acid alone and one for the other listed salts, each with its own restriction text.

The restriction wording for salicylic acid now adds statements that it is not to be used in oral products and not to be used in applications that may lead to exposure of the end-user's lungs by inhalation, in addition to the prior restriction on use in products for children under 3 years of age.

A minor wording change also appears earlier in the preamble text, where the phrase about uses other than as a preservative for entry 98 is rephrased.
