EU Proposed Amending Allergenic Fragrance Requirements under Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC

The European Commission has drafted two Directives to amend Annex II to Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, regarding allergenic fragrances in toys. Here is the summary of the proposal:
Amendments to the list of allergenic fragrances which require labelling
According to the current requirement in Part III, Annex II to the Directive, the name of allergenic fragrance listed in Paragraph 3 of Point 11 shall be stated on a toy, on an affixed label, on the packaging or in an accompanying leaflet, if the fragrance is added to the toy or component at a concentration exceeding 100 mg/kg.
The Commission proposed to amend the list by:
Adding 2 CAS numbers to Citronellol, 1117-61-9 and 7540-51-4
Adding 61 allergenic fragrances to the list, as follows:
