Status distribution

Condition text is present on 1931 of 1931 current records. An empty condition field is interpreted according to the record type above; it is never converted into an unrestricted-use claim.

India market context

Complete current Part 2 dataset plus official workflow for Parts 1, 3 and 4

Coverage version: Cosmetics Rules 2020 plus current BIS IS 4707 parts (1:2020, 2:2025, 3:2025, 4:2022)

All 1,614 prohibited Annex A rows and 317 numbered/lettered restricted Annex B rows from IS 4707 Part 2:2025; official checks remain for colourants, preservatives and UV filters in Parts 1, 3 and 4.

Verification checklist

  1. Confirm product class and current Cosmetics Rules/gazette amendments.
  2. Check all applicable parts of IS 4707 by exact identity.
  3. Apply Schedule S/other finished-product standards where relevant.
  4. Verify licence/import registration, labelling and testing requirements.

Verification workflow and record completeness

Before using this result in a compliance decision

  1. Confirm that “IS 4707. (CAS No. 7440-67-7). Acetonitrile (CAS No. 75-05-8)” and every CAS/EC identifier refer to the material in your supplier specification.
  2. Confirm product class and current Cosmetics Rules/gazette amendments.
  3. Check all applicable parts of IS 4707 by exact identity.
  4. Apply Schedule S/other finished-product standards where relevant.
  5. Verify licence/import registration, labelling and testing 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. The standards are separate controlled publications; absence from a locally indexed excerpt is not permission.

The record cites IS 4707 (Part 2):2025 Annex A, entry 388, source version IS 4707 (Part 2):2025, fifth revision. 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.
