Traduction de «Concentration maximale d'utilisation » (Français → Anglais) :

(3) For greater certainty, if the written instructions of the manufacturer, importer or seller require the combination of multiple components before the product is to be used, the VOC concentration in the product resulting from the combination of the multiple components must not exceed the VOC concentration limit set out in column 2 of the schedule for that product.

(a) dilution of the coating before its use is required and in accordance with the written instructions of the manufacturer, importer or seller, to a VOC concentration equal to or less than that limit set out in column 2 and that coating is either labelled with or accompanied by those instructions in both official languages; or

In order to take into account the skin irritation potential of the combinations of the quaternary ammonium derivatives mentioned above, the Commission considers that, while allowing the use of these substances for other uses than as preservatives at higher concentrations, the sums of these substances should be restricted to the maximum concentration indicated by the SCCS for the individual substances.

In its opinion of 13 October 2009 , it stated that, on the basis of the data submitted, the use of that mixture as a preservative in cosmetic products, at a concentration up to 0,2 % (corresponding to a silver concentration of 0,0024 %), does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer.

In addition, the SCCS considered that other uses of triclosan in nail products where the intended use is to clean the fingernails and toenails before the application of artificial nail systems at a maximum concentration of 0,3 % and in mouthwashes at a maximum concentration of 0,2 % are safe for the consumer.

Article 4 (substance ban): Maximum concentration values for the banned substances are set (incorporation in the Directive of a Commission Decision) and permission to use non-compliant spare parts is extended to equipment benefitting from an exemption when placed on the market, to prevent premature withdrawal of equipment from use; a new annex with exemptions specific to the new product categories (medical devices and control and monitoring instruments) is added for cases where substitution is currently not feasible; a mechanism for introducing new substance bans in line with the REACH methodology is inserted to ensure cohe ...[+++]rence and maximise synergy with the work carried out under the chemicals' legislation. Detailed rules of this process will be developed through comitology.
