Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what requirements are placed on perfume and fragrance manufacturers (1) to test, and (2) to demonstrate, the safety of their products for human health.
Perfume and fragrance manufacturers are required under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products to ensure that their products are safe for human health. All cosmetics products must undergo a safety assessment. A Cosmetic Product Safety Report must be compiled before the product is placed on the market which may be inspected at any time by the enforcement authority.
