| Summary: |
The European Commission's Scientific Committee on Consumer Products addresses questions relating to the safety of consumer products, particularly questions about cosmetics, toys, clothing, personal care products, domestic products, and consumer services. This document contains the minutes from the 5th Meeting of the Workgroup on Nanomaterials in Consumer Products. From May 2009 to February 2010, the workgroup met eight times to address new concerns from nanoparticle-containing cosmetic products. At this meeting, the workgroup identified further data requirements for nanoparticle titanium dioxide and also discussed the safety dossier on ETH-50. |

| Summary: |
Since the publication of a report on nanotechnologies by the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering determined that nanoparticles should be treated as new chemicals from a risk-point of view because of the issues of exposure and higher resorption of nanomaterials in the skin and of assessing exposure to nanomaterials on a mass basis, several groups within the European Commission have been conducting reviews to determine the suitability of their existing procedures in regulating nanomaterials. Recently, the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks was asked to deliver an opinion on the capabilities of existing methodologies in assessing the potential risks associated with nanotechnologies which necessitated considering if the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products' (SCCNFP) notes of guidance for safety evaluation should contain specific procedures for nanomaterials. While no reference is made to the use of nanosized ingredients, the SCCNFP has delivered opinions on some nanosized materials such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for use in cosmetic ingredients. |
