📋 Tender Overview
The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission adopted amendments to the technical regulation On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products.
The scope of application of the technical regulation in relation to perfumery and cosmetic products applied to products has been clarified. This standard applies, for example, to moisturizing cream applied to baby diapers or anti-cellulite impregnation of jeans.
The conceptual apparatus of the technical regulation has been updated. It has been established that it is possible to conduct a toxicological assessment of perfumery and cosmetic products based on an analysis of the toxicological characteristics of the ingredients using a calculation method, without the use of laboratory animals.
With regard to the packaging of oral hygiene products, a requirement has been established for the need to control the first opening.
A ban has also been introduced on the use of trade names of registered drugs or medical devices in the name of perfumery and cosmetic products.
The schemes and procedures for state registration and declaration of conformity of perfumery and cosmetic products established in the technical regulation have been brought into line with the approved standard conformity assessment schemes, taking into account the practice of applying the technical regulation.
The entry into force of the amendments will have a positive impact on both consumers and manufacturers. The amendments establish unambiguous requirements in cases where there was a need for clarification. For example, in terms of family cosmetics, many questions and discrepancies arose: should the requirements be applied to such products as to childrens products, since there may be children in the family. The amendments establish that the minimum age of users must be indicated on the packaging of family cosmetics, depending on which certain requirements will be applied.
The amendments will enter into force one year after their official publication, with the exception of certain provisions.
The transitional provisions of the amendments to the technical regulations will be determined by the EEC Board in a separate decision.
