EC Initiates Updating the List of Regulated Allergenic Fragrances in Toys

The European Commission (EC) has initiated to update the list of regulated allergenic fragrances in toys by amending Annex II to the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC.

The proposal are as follows:

• Toy safety – labeling allergenic fragrances
  • Addition of 61 allergenic fragrances to third paragraph of point 11 of Part III of Annex II
    • This requires a general obligation to list on the toy, on an affixed label, on the packaging or in an accompanying leaflet, if these 61 allergenic fragrances are added to a toy.
• Toy safety – prohibited allergenic fragrances
  • Addition of three allergenic fragrances to first paragraph of point 11 of Part III of Annex II
    • Atranol (CAS: 526–37-4)
    • Chloroatranol (CAS: 57074–21-2)
    • Methyl heptine carbonate (CAS: 111–12-6)

The two initiatives are open for feedback until April 3rd, 2020.
