Résumé : |
Since March 2013, the animal testing ban for cosmetics has been fully implemented in the European Union. The ban applies irrespective of the availability of test alternatives for most of the hazard areas of interest in human safety assessments and a derogation mechanism is not h place. For some hazard areas the development of in vitro alternative methods will still take many years. Resulting problems exist for the safety assessment of new ingredients for cosmetics, and therefore, for their market introduction. The ban may also cause issues for existing ingredients when further testing requirements from other regulatory regimes, e.g. from REACH, appear ; a court case is pending for further clarification in this environment. Precise documentation of animal tests performed is required for the PIF and the product's responsible persans must ensure compliance with the animal testing ban requirements which is verified by EU Member State authorities. New in silico and in chemico tools provide support for the safety assessment of ingredients. |
