Posebna izdaja – Znanstveni odbori
Prof. Thomas Platzek, predsednik Znanstvenega odbora o varstvu potrošnikov
V Luxembourgu so aprila 2013 izvolili nove člane Znanstvenega odbora za varstvo potrošnikov (ZOVP) za obdobje 2013-2016. Odbor, ki deluje že od sprejetja direktive o kozmetičnih izdelkih leta 1968, bo nadaljeval štiridesetletno tradicijo odborov, ki Evropski komisiji dajejo znanstvene nasvete o varnosti kozmetičnih izdelkov. Odbor ima pomembno vlogo tudi po novi uredbi o kozmetičnih izdelkih, ki bo začela veljati julija 2013.
Člane odbora kot neodvisne strokovnjake prek javnega razpisa izbere Evropska komisija na podlagi njihovega odličnega znanstvenega znanja.

SCHER concludes that the use of nickel in parts of toys allowing the correct electric function of toys will result in a very low potential for exposure to nickel by oral and dermal intake. Thus, health risks are not expected. The SCHER adopted this opinion at its 17th plenary on 25 September 2012.

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety assessed the list established in 1999 of 26 fragrance substances with a well-recognised potential to cause allergy to decide if additional fragrance ingredients need to be added. As a result, many more fragrance substances have been shown to be sensitisers in humans by clinical, epidemiological and experimental studies.
