2007 summer, the EU cosmetics industry began the phased introduction of the new sunscreen labeling system, the system is the European Commission in September 22, 2006 proposed in the draft proposal. The draft recommendations for member states including the preparation of guiding principles, guiding principles provide a simple and manufacturers will be required to establish minimum standards and comprehensive labeling.
Targeting the EU market-related businesses should understand the guidelines does not have the binding, the entire European cosmetics industry has already agreed to the summer of 2008 to fully adopt the guiding principles. European Commission spokesman for consumer affairs, commented on this, if you do not comply with these guidelines, consumers may choose to purchase with a new, clear labeling of products, instead of no such labels.
Recommended guidelines include the following elements:Not allowed to label sunscreen products can block 100% of ultraviolet radiation (such as “block sunlight” or “full protection” of the word) statement; according to the European Commission’s view, this statement is false, “because there is no sun supplies completely block UV radiation. “
Sunscreen warnings should be marked to indicate sunscreen can provide 100% protection (such as “Even using sunscreen, and do not stay too long in the sun”, “infants should avoid direct sunlight,” and “over- exposure a serious threat to health “reminder).
Not allowed to repeat the use of sunscreen products without labeling (such as “all day protection” language) statements.
Sunscreen should prevent ultraviolet UVB and UVA radiation. UVB radiation including short ultraviolet radiation cause skin drying red (“sun burn”), UVA radiation, including long ultraviolet radiation, causing skin to age prematurely and affect the immune system, UVB and UVA radiation has cancer risk.
Sunscreen products should be labeled for use to ensure the effectiveness of the statement of the product can be achieved. Also, the amount of product should be applied should also be given instructions.
Sunscreen UV under the lowest level of UVB should be able to achieve (2006) Determination of the International SPF values obtained SPF (SPF) 6, or other in vitro methods available to the same level of sun protection.
UVA sunscreen sunscreen products should be at least SPF index 1 / 3 (the index is implemented by the French Health Products Safety and Health Committee had sustained improvement obtained when the black method), or other in vitro methods can received the same level.
Note statement to the effect of sunscreen products should be simple to understand, meaningful, and evidence-based standards. The label should be given a statement such as “low”, “China”, “high”, “high” category, each category should be fairly standard scale sun, sun protection rating categories are given at least as prominent as the SPF.
The operation of the new labeling system to be completed until the summer of 2008, as the label 2007 may be prior to the adoption of the draft recommendation printed. However, the new system has been implemented in phases the summer of 2007.
