Cosmetics Safety Seminar
Dates:
7 March 2012 - Leicester
19 September 2012 - Leicester
Course Leader:
Dr Mabel Iwobi
Duration:
Full Day
Overview
A primary requirement in the manufacture of safe cosmetic products
is protecting the health of the consumer from harm. This protection
also enables increased consumer confidence.
Knowledge, understanding and interpretation of the law governing the
manufacture and marketing of cosmetic products are principally the
role and responsibilities of the manufacturer, importer and distributor.
However, help is available. Since the first law governing the
manufacture and marketing of safe cosmetic products was introduced
in the European Union (EU) in 1976 in the form of a Directive
(76/768/EEC), and each Member State transposed (interpreted) it into
their own Regulation, a number of changes in the form of
amendments had also occurred. Keeping up-to-date with these
changes is very important. A Safety Assessor can help to guide and
provide interpretation of the cosmetics legislation.
Starting on the 11th July 2013, the EU Directive will be replaced by the
Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 which will apply directly across all the EU
Member States. Additional improved changes have also been
enacted. This new Cosmetics Regulation (also known as the Recast)
becomes law on 11th July 2013. How prepared are you?
The morning session will examine the Cosmetics Directive with
specific emphasis on what information is needed before a cosmetic
product can be legally sold in the EU, what is regulated, comparison
with the new Regulation, identifying the new changes and addressing
the cosmetic products labelling requirements. Simple practical
exercises will be used to illustrate relevant points.
In the afternoon session, an insight will be given into the processes
involved in the cosmetic safety assessment. There will be a review of
the type and quality of data/information required and available; also
the additional requirements of the new Regulation. The relationship
between hazard, exposure and risk, and how these are expressed
with regards to types of products will be considered. At Intertek, we
aim to help prevent potential adverse consequences and provide a
solution..
