  • Title: Legislative and preventive measures related to contact dermatitis.
    Author: Lidén C.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 2001 Feb; 44(2):65-9. PubMed ID: 11205405.
    Abstract:
    Legislation can be a useful tool in the prevention of contact dermatitis. This is particularly true for dermatitis due to exposure to the many contact allergens that are chemical substances in products. A brief review is given of the most important European legislation--the EU Nickel Directive, the Cosmetics Directive, the Hazardous Substances Directive and the Hazardous Preparations Directive--and of some national regulations and standardization projects. It is concluded that it is essential that experts on contact dermatitis support, with their expert knowledge, national and European authorities.
