Still, he added, the current process allowing companies to get exemptions for chemicals from the automatic CPR ban \u201cdoes not always allow the industry to demonstrate safety, for example because of vague criteria, or unrealistic deadlines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can stop us from using substances which have been scientifically assessed as perfectly safe for use in cosmetics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The omnibus would also simplify rules on how to classify, label and package chemicals under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation \u2014 which only entered into force in December.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0previously reported by POLITICO<\/a>, the proposal suggests loosening formatting, labeling and advertising requirements for hazardous chemicals.<\/p>\n

Originally, for example, the rules\u00a0stipulated<\/a>\u00a0that any advertisement for hazardous substances must indicate the necessary hazard symbols and statements, on top of the statement: \u201cAlways follow the information on the product label,\u201d for adverts to the general public.<\/p>\n
