欧盟消费品科学委员会（SCCP）发布了对二甘醇（DEG）的评价报告
2010-12-30
近期，欧盟消费品科学委员会（SCCP）发布了对二甘醇（DEG）的评价报告，结论为：化妆品（含牙膏）成品中，由原料杂质带入的DEG 最大限量为0.1%.
SCCP 全称为Scientific Committee on Consumer Products ，中文名称：欧盟消费品科学委员会，主要负责评价食品、化妆品、玩具等消费品的安全问题。它是欧盟委员会下属的官方科学智囊机构，基本上由欧盟独立第三方的顶尖的毒理学家组成，为欧盟委员会提供决策建议。它的决议会被欧盟官方采用，作为法规在欧盟实施。所以在欧盟，这个SCCP OPINION （SCCP决议）就是法。
以下为此报告的结论部分
4. CONCLUSION
SCCP is of the opinion that diethylene glycol (DEG) should not be used as an ingredient in cosmetic products including oral care products. This opinion is based on the fact that more than 600 deaths have occurred due to DEG mass poisonings. Although most of the deaths have occurred after oral intake, deaths are also reported afterdermal exposure. In addition, reliable data in line with present guideline requirements on non-lethal repeated dose toxicity and dermal absorption, which would allow assessment of the safety of use in cosmetic products, is not available.
SCCP is of the opinion that a maximum concentration of up to 0.1% DEG from impurities in ingredients like glycerine and polyethylene glycols in the finished cosmetic products can be considered to be safe.
