REACH restriction of hazardous substances in tattoo inks and permanent make-up

Webinar date

29 March 2022 14:30 - 16:30 EEST

Summary

Since 5 January 2022, certain hazardous chemicals in mixtures used for tattooing and permanent make-up are restricted in the EU.

The European Commission and ECHA organised an online information session to address technical questions that industry, such as ink formulators and tattoo artists, might have on the implementation of the restriction. The aim was to help those impacted to meet the new legal requirements set by Annex XVII of the EU’s chemicals legislation, REACH.
