Verification workflow and record completeness

Before using this result in a compliance decision

  1. Confirm that “Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)” and every CAS/EC identifier refer to the material in your supplier specification.
  2. Search all ACD annexes by name and identifiers.
  3. Apply product type, maximum level and warning conditions.
  4. Confirm the target member state's adoption and transition date.
  5. Complete the local notification and responsible-company requirements.
  6. Document the source version and recheck the regulator before manufacture, notification or market placement.

Questions this page answers

This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope. Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.

A prohibition entry may contain no separate condition text because the regulatory outcome is the prohibition itself. Regional annex coverage does not replace member-state implementation dates, notifications or national deviations.

The record cites ASEAN Annex II, reference 1152, source version 2026-1. Open the official source.

No. CAS helps resolve identity, but jurisdictions can classify the same substance differently and can apply different product scopes, limits, warnings and transition dates.
