Amendment: Decision 2014/312/EU on zinc oxide as preservative stabiliser
COMCMT1R-EP1R-C2R-EPCNCADO
Updated 81mo ago
This procedure updates existing rules to extend a temporary exemption for using zinc oxide as a preservative and stabiliser. It specifically allows the substance to be used for 'in-can preservation' and in 'tinting pastes', ensuring that these products remain stable and free from contamination during storage.
This change primarily affects manufacturers of paints, coatings, and chemical additives, allowing them to continue using zinc oxide for specific preservation purposes while broader safety assessments are conducted.
