Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 7 REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.

Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 12 REACH - Preamble 13 This Regulation should apply without prejudice to the prohibitions and restrictions laid down in Council Directive 76/768/EEC* of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products in so far as substances are used and marketed as cosmetic ingredients and are within the scope of this Regulation. A phase-out of testing on vertebrate animals for the purpose of protecting human health as specified in Directive 76/768/EEC* should take place with regard to the uses of those substances in cosmetics. *[Regulation (EC) Nr. 1223/2009]

Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 14 SUMMARY: Regulation (EC) Nr. 1223/200 is the decisive framework for Cosmetic Products The Cosmetics Product Regulation contains legal provisions for the product ingredients (ingredient lists in the CPR s annexes), for product labelling and on animal testing. Also, the identification and labeling of hazardous substances is regulated in the CPR. REACH APPLIES TO COSMETIC INGREDIENTS, BUT NOT TO COSMETIC PRODUCTS COSMETIC PRODUCTS -MIXTURES IN THE FINISHED STATE, INTENDED FOR THE FINAL USER- ARE EXEMPT FROM ALL PROVISIONS OF CLP

Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 22 Other Alternatives to Animal Testing - in-silico, in-chemico methods ADVERSE OUTCOME PATHWAYS
Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 23 CONCLUSIONS The future of safety assessment for cosmetic ingredients and other chemicals is a multi-tier approach of using in-vitro, in-silico and in-chemico methods. Actually, many elements are available, however, some are still under exploration. Multi-tier approaches will assure compliance with REACH and the CPR. The animal testing ban does not apply to chemicals with application in other areas than cosmetics - therefore, no break in seeking REACH compliance exists. This includes chemicals used as cosmetic ingredients when multiple applications exist. For many new cosmetic ingredients the existing alternatives already allow for a comprehensive safety assessment according to Annex I/CPR - read-across and tests on humans are examples for data sources in weight-of-evidence approaches which can be used in addition to alternative testing. As REACH applies only from a threshold of 1 tonne/year, cosmetics assessed in a WoE approach can be introduced into the EU internal market. Delays in innovation due to the animal testing ban will appear in only minor dimensions.
Understanding the Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 and REACH 24 Costs? - Facts An increased demand for experts and science sector specialists is required. The number of tests and costs per test will be reduced. An issue is the availability of experts. When comparing costs for a multi-tier alternative approach Ban to a on set Animal of animal tests Testing priorly used they appear to be in similar dimension.
