HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TESTS IN TIF
 PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISATION :
emphasis on :
purity
solubility
partition coefficient (log Pow)
stability in solution
 ACUTE TOXICITY : oral rat (3R- in vivo test); if available (mostly for classification)
 LOCAL TOXICITY :
- Irritation and corrosivity
Skin irritation : non-irritative at maximal use concentration (in vitro tests)
Eye/mucosa irritation : non-irritative at maximal use concentration
(in vitro screening tests ; in vivo)
- Skin sensitisation :
Sensitisation not excluded ; preferably non-sensitising
(LLNA : 3R- in vivo test → in vitro tests)
RISK ASSESSMENT OF COSMETIC INGREDIENTS
(in chemico tests)
 Dermal absorption (in vitro test)
Dermatomed pig or human skin (400-600 µ)
 Repeated dose toxicity (in vivo test)
90- day oral study in rat
SYSTEMIC TOXICITY
 Mutagenicity/genotoxicity tests (in vitro tests)
3 endpoints of genotoxicity
• gene mutation
• structural aberrations (clastogens)
• aneuploidy (aneugens)
when → overruled by Θ in vivo test
 Carcinogenicity (in vivo test) : if available
 Reproductive toxicity (in vivo test)
maternal toxicity
mostly : teratogenicity
RISK ASSESSMENT OF COSMETIC INGREDIENTS
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TESTS IN TIF
- WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOSE
AND INCIDENCE / SEVERITY OF ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECT ?
- WHAT IS DOSE NECESSARY TO CAUSE HARM ?
- NOAEL ! (= No Observable Adverse Effect Level = the highest dose or
exposure level within a specific system where no adverse treatment-
related findings are observed)
- NOAEL taken from : 90-DAY ORAL REPEATED DOSE TOXICITY STUDY
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY STUDY

ROLE OF RESPONSIBLE PERSON (RP)
BASIS INDUSTRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY OF
COSMETIC PRODUCTS PLACED ON EU MARKET
In preambule 11, Reg. 1223/2009 :
“each cosmetic product should be linked to a RP established within th Community”
Art. 4
WHO IS THE RP ?
 legal or natural person
 responsible for compliance with Reg. 1223/2009
Cosmetic produced in EU
(no export/no back import)
Cosmetic is imported in EU
Manufacturer in EU Manufacturer outside EU
RP = MANUFACTURER RP = IMPORTER
 APPOINTED EU PERSON (accepting written mandate)
 DISTRIBUTOR (his name/trademark or modification
affecting compliance)
ROLE OF RESPONSIBLE PERSON (RP)
WHAT ARE OBLIGATIONS OF RP ?
IN GENERAL :
 ensure full compliance with Reg. 1223/2009
 take immediate corrective measures when cosmetic product is not compliant
 inform immediately competent national authorities (CNA) of MS and provide all
details/corrective measures when risk exists for human health
 cooperate with CNA of MS providing information/documentation demonstrating
conformity (language !) – also identification of distributors on demand
MORE SPECIFIC :
 ensure compliance in particular with all safety requirements in connection with :
- presentation
- labelling
- use / disposal
- safety assessment before marketing according to Annex I and keep it
updated
ROLE OF RESPONSIBLE PERSON (RP)
WHAT ARE OBLIGATIONS OF RP ?
MORE SPECIFIC :
 keep a PIF for each product (different formats possible, language ! )
at address indicated on label
 notify each product via CPNP (art.13) before marketing (exception original
labelling and packaging photograph)
 notify cosmetic product containing nanomaterials : 6 months prior marketing
 make easily accessible for public information :
- qualitative and quantitative composition (hazardous substances)
- perfume / aroma (name, code nr, supplier)
- undesirable and serious undesirable effects (SUE)
- communication on SUE !
 take all appropriate measures to bring non-compliant products into conformity
