Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25 (a) new
(25a) Test methods currently available are not adequate for assessing the risks associated with nanomaterials. Nano- specific non-animal test methods should urgently be developed. In order to protect human health and prevent animal testing, the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics should be prohibited until such a time as sufficient nano-specific non-animal test methods have been approved for use and an adequate safety assessment on the basis of these tests has been carried out.
