Entry 142 for Silver was changed from a general listing to one specifying a particle size range of over 100 nm and under 1 mm, described as a powder, and adding a CAS number of 7440-22-4.
The conditions for entry 142 were also changed from having no listed product type or maximum concentration restriction to specifying lip products and eye shadow as the applicable product types, with a maximum concentration of 0,2 % for both.

MODIFIED +470 −74 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 7, covering Biphenyl-2-ol, is expanded to also name 2-phenylphenol, 2-hydroxybiphenyl, and Sodium 2-biphenylate (Sodium o-Phenylphenate), adding a second CAS/EC identification pair alongside the original o-Phenylphenol entry.
The product-type/body-part column changes from separate rows for rinse-off and leave-on products to a combined (a)/(b) listing with the same percentage limits, and the conditions column adds a combined-concentration limit for when o-Phenylphenol and Sodium o-Phenylphenate are used together, plus a new instruction not to use in applications leading to inhalation exposure or in oral products, alongside the existing eye-contact warning.
