The proposed text clarifies and streamlines the interface between the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures Regulation (CLP), and the CPR. It aims to ensure that ingredients that can be safely used in cosmetics are not automatically banned following a hazard classification under the CLP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establishment of a procedure for including colorants, preservatives, and UV filters in the relevant CPR annexes to streamline the process and speed up the use of new cosmetic ingredients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digitalisation of the European Commission glossary of common ingredient names to ensure accurate labelling and reduction of compliance errors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Removal of the need to pre-notify cosmetic products containing nanomaterials under Article 16 of the CPR. This change addresses a duplication as the pre-notification is already required under Article 13 and intends to reduce administrative burden on the industry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div
