The new REACH 2022 rules come into force in EU/EEA countries from 4 January 2022.
The restriction introduces maximum concentration limits for individual substances or groups of substances used in tattoo inks or permanent make-up. Examples of chemicals are particular azo dyes, carcinogenic aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals and methanol.
It will also be compulsory for the labels of pigments intended for tattooing and permanent make-up to indicate this intended use. The label must also include a list of ingredients and relevant safety declarations.
Pigment Blue 15:3 and Pigment Green 7, for which the Commission and EU Member States have agreed a 24-month transition period, will no longer be available from 4 January 2023.
