19、d Their Safety Evaluation by the SCCS”is a document compiled by the members of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety(SCCS,replacing the former SCCP,SCCNFP and SCC).The document contains relevant information on the different aspects of testing and safety evaluation of cosmetic substances in Eur
20、ope.The emphasis of this guidance is on cosmetic ingredients,although some guidance is also indirectly given for the safety assessment of finished products.It is designed to provide guidance to public authorities and to the cosmetic industry in order to improve harmonised compliance with the current
21、 cosmetic EU legislation.An important development in recent years was the full implementation of the cosmetic legislation,Regulation(EC)No 1223/2009,meaning that the animal testing and marketing bans fully apply from 2013 onwards:no in vivo testing of finished products after March 2004;no in vivo te
22、sting for local toxicity after March 2009 and no in vivo testing for repeated dose toxicity(including sensitisation)toxicokinetics and developmental toxicity from March 2013 onwards for the purpose of cosmetics.For this reason,the SCCS has closely followed the progress made with regard to the develo
23、pment and validation of alternative methods,with emphasis on replacement methodology.The Notes of Guidance are regularly revised and updated in order to incorporate the progress of scientific knowledge in general,and the experience gained,in particular in the field of testing and safety evaluation o
24、f cosmetic ingredients.The previous revision of the Notes of Guidance took place in 2015(SCCS/1564/15).Since then,several new addenda,opinions and memoranda of importance to the content of this guidance document have been adopted and they form the basis of this new revision.Focus is on exposure and
25、the application of alternative methods,more specifically on non-animal methods.As was also the case in previous revisions,individual opinions are not provided in detail but are briefly summarised and clearly referred to.The Notes of Guidance have been compiled to provide assistance in the complex pr
26、ocess of the testing and safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients in the EU.Input of scientists from the scientific committee SCHEER and Cosmetics Europe is gratefully acknowledged.The Chairperson 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS SCCS members listed below are acknowledged for their valuable contribution to the fi

30、CS/1602/18 2 ABOUT THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEES Two independent non-food Scientific Committees provide the Commission with the scientific advice it needs when preparing policy and proposals relating to consumer safety,public health and the environment.The Committees also draw the Commissions attention
31、to the new or emerging problems which may pose an actual or potential threat.These Committees are:the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety(SCCS)and the Scientific Committee on Health,Environmental and Emerging Risks(SCHEER)and they are made up of scientists appointed in their personal capacity.In
32、 addition,the Commission relies upon the work of the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA),the European Medicines Agency(EMA),the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control(ECDC)and the European Chemicals Agency(ECHA).SCCS The Committee shall provide Opinions on questions concerning all types
33、 of health and safety risks(notably chemical,biological,mechanical and other physical risks)of non-food consumer products(for example:cosmetic products and their ingredients,toys,textiles,clothing,personal care and household products such as detergents,etc.)and services(for example:tattooing,artific
34、ial sun tanning,etc.).SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE MEMBERS Bernauer Ulrike,Bodin Laurent,Chaudhry Qasim,Coenraads Pieter-Jan,Dusinska Maria,Ezendam Janine,Gaffet Eric,Galli Corrado Lodovico,Granum Berit,Panteri Eirini,Rogiers Vera,Rousselle Christophe,Stpnik Maciej,Vanhaecke Tamara,Wijnhoven Susan Contact E

39、ation on Regulation 1223/2009/EC and guidance related to finished cosmetic products(Product Information File,PIF)is now included in the Annexes.A(revised)checklist for submitting a safety dossier to the SCCS has been added.An update of the data needed for safety evaluation has been included and info
40、rmation for re-submitting is also given in case of a negative opinion.References and abbreviations lists have been updated.The exposure chapter has been updated with subdivisions for external and internal exposure tiered approach and aggregate exposure are discussed.Changes in content An update on n
41、on-animal toxicological studies for cosmetic ingredients has been included.Weight of Evidence(WoE)and use of a toolbox(genotoxicity/mutagenicity)are discussed.An update of criteria for multi-constituent natural ingredients and chemical identity has been included.The Threshold of Toxicological Concer
42、n concept TTC-remains the same,i.e.new suggested values in publication have not yet been evaluated.A literature overview of consumer exposure data has been added in Appendix 7.5 1.INTRODUCTION Since July 2013,Regulation(EC)No 1223/2009 applies for cosmetic products.Their safety-in-use is,as was also
43、 the case for Directive 76/768/EEC,established by controlling the safety of the ingredients.For those ingredients for which some concern exists with respect to human health(e.g.colourants,preservatives,UV-filters,hair dyes),safety evaluation is done at the Commission level by the Scientific Committe
44、e on Consumer Safety(SCCS).These substances are addressed in the Annexes of Regulation(EC)No 1223/2009.For the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients,all available scientific data are considered,taking into account the testing and marketing bans in force under Regulation(EC)No 1223/2009.This incl
45、udes the physical and chemical properties of the compounds under investigation,in silico data such as results obtained from(Q)SAR(Quantitative)Structure Activity Relationship modelling,chemical categories,grouping,read-across,Physiologically-Based PharmacoKinetics(PBPK)/ToxicoKinetics(PBTK)modelling
46、,in vitro and ex vivo experimental results and data obtained from animal studies(in vivo)that have been carried out for the purpose of cosmetics before the testing and marketing bans.The animal testing ban on finished cosmetic products applies since 11 September 2004;the testing ban on ingredients o
47、r combination of ingredients applies since 11 March 2009.The marketing ban applies since 11 March 2009 for all human health effects with the exception of repeated-dose toxicity,reproductive toxicity,and toxicokinetics.For these specific health effects,the marketing ban applies since 11 March 2013,ir
48、respective of the availability of alternative non-animal methods.In addition,clinical data,epidemiological studies,information derived from accidents,data from Post-Marketing Surveillance(PMS)or other human data are also taken into consideration.In the present update,the state-of-the-art with respec
49、t to the validated methods of the 3Rs(Refinement,Reduction and Replacement)strategy of Russell et al.(1959),is incorporated with emphasis on New Approach Methodologies(NAMs).In view of the testing and marketing bans in the cosmetic regulation,the SCCS gives special attention to those alternative met
50、hods that are suitable for the safety testing of cosmetic substances.Although the Notes of Guidance are concerned with the testing and safety evaluation of the cosmetic substances listed in the Annexes of Regulation(EC)No 1223/2009 and those for which safety concerns have been expressed,they could b
