# The Cosmetic Products (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2925) (“the principal Regulations”).
The Regulations implement Commission Directive 2000/41/EC (OJ No. L145; 20.6.00, p25). The principal Regulations contained a prohibition, due to come into force on 30th June 2000, on the supply of cosmetics which contain ingredients or combinations of ingredients tested on animals, when such testing takes place after 30th June 2000 and is undertaken in order that the products may satisfy the requirements of the principal Regulations. The date 30th June 2000 is changed by these Regulations to 30th June 2002, which is also the date on which this prohibition will now come into force (regulation 2(b) and (c)).
