The Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/197 of 19 October 2023 has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 January 2024. It is the 21st ATP (Adaptation to Technical and Scientific Progress) of the European CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances). It concerns a total of 16 ingredients that can be used in cosmetics, and in particular one that is classified as a CMR, which threatens its use in cosmetic products in the future, and another whose classification as Repr. 2 becomes Repr. 1B. This Regulation shall apply from 1st September 2025.
Article updated on 22 September 2025, following corrigendum 2025/90734 published in the Official Journal of the European Union, correcting a typographical error in entry 606-155-00-6 (Cinnamal).
This Regulation is based on the opinions adopted by the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) between 18 March 2021 and 26 November 2021.
It concerns a total of 16 substances that may be used in cosmetic products (listed in the CosIng, not present in Annex II of the Cosmetics Regulation, which lists prohibited ingredients): among the eight that are joining the CLP Regulation for the first time, one (Dimethyltolylamine) is concerned by a classification as CMR, which, in accordance with Article 15 of European Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, paves the way for a possible ban on its use in cosmetics. Another (TPO) has seen its classification as Repr. 2 become Repr. 1B.
