| Résumé : |
Over the past 30 years, opposition to the use of animals to assess the safety of cosmetics has grown to become the default position not only in the cosmetics industry, but also significant sections of society.
For many, the key moment arrived on 11 March 2013 with the implementation of a full ban on animal testing in the European Union acting as culmination of years of consumer & industry demand, scientific advancement, regulatory validation, and political cooperation. It was hoped that this ban would lead the way in providing a framework for the replacement of animal tests in other regions globally and, in time, other industries.
Nearly a decade on, approximately 80% of countries still test cosmetic products on animals. Even within the EU, animal testing still takes place on cosmetic ingredients due to conflicting requirements between regulations.
The most notable of these is REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), which can require the use of certain animal tests where no validated alternative is available. Recent rulings by ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) requiring the use of animal tests to ensure the requirements of REACH have been met may pose a risk to the ultimate effectiveness of the ban. |
