Synopsis: |
The main purpose of this survey is to clarify the situation in various European countries as regards the clasification of certain categories of products, known as "borderline" or "fringe", and to establish whether the latter should be classified as cosmetic products or as pharmaceutical, medical devices, biocidal products, foodstuffs or general consumer products. The survey aims to give a clearer picture of the "classification situation" of these categories in Europe and ensure at all times that leglisation sufficiently protects the consumer's health when using different kinds of consumer products. |
