According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, food additives may be defined as "substances. .. the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, either in their becoming a component of food or otherwise affecting the characteristics of food" (1). Canada and the European Community have adopted similar definitions. According to this broad definition, a food additive is synonymous to a food ingredient. In practice, however, the word additive is limited to substances that are used in small quantities. 

European Regulations. Regulations for cosmetics differ from country to country but, in general, are similar to or patterned after U.S. regulation. Thus, the identification of a cosmetic in the European Community differs only marginally from that in the United States. A 1991 European Economic Community (EEC) directive defines a cosmetic as ...

In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and regulations made under it require occupiers to provide a safe plant and system of work and adequate instruction, training, and supervision. In the European community, occupiers of major hazard sites are required to produce a safety case, which describes how hazards have been assessed and are kept under control. Many other countries have similar legislation, though standards of enforcement vary. 

Where necessary the manufacturer must carry out, or arrange for, safety testing. Many countries operate mandatory premanufacturing and premarketing notification schemes of which safety testing is the cornerstone. Within the European Community under Directive 67/548/EEC and its sixth amendment 79/831/EEC, Competent Authorities must be notified before new substances are supplied in the marketplace. In the UK this Directive is enacted by the Notification of New Substances Regulations 1993 (NONS). Exempt are ...

This information sheet from the Health and Safety Executive summaries the health hazards that can arise from exposure to styrene. It provides practical advance to FRP manufacturers on how to assess and control styrene levels in the workplace and how these control measures should be monitored and maintained in accordance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. The document applies mainly to contact moulding processes, and aims to define what level of control is currently recognised as being reasonably practicable.

The European Community s Dangerous Substances Directive, DSD (67/548/EEC), was originally adopted in 1967. It regulates the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances. Up until Spring 1992, six amendments have been adopted. A proposed seventh amendment appeared in February 1990, but it was not until April 1992 that it was finally adopted. The major differences between the requirements of the current directive and those which will apply once the seventh amendment is implemented are outlined. 

The EPA RMP regulation and the European Community s Seveso II directive both exempt covered processes from some regulatory provisions, if the facility documents the absence of catastrophic damage from process accidents under reasonable worst case conditions. The State of New Jersey is also considering similar action in its proposed revisions of the Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act (TCPA) regulations. 

The concept of a safety case comes from the requirements of the European Union/European Community (EU/EC) Seveso Directive (82/501/EC) and, in particular, regulations that the United Kingdom and other member states used to implement that directive. United Kingdom regulations (Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards [CIMAH], 1984 replaced by Control of Major Accident Hazards Involving Dangerous Substances [COMAH] in 1999) require that major hazardous facilities produce a safety report or safety case.64 The requirement for a safety case is initiated by a list of chemicals and a class of flammables. Like the hazard analysis approach (Section 8.1.2), experts identify the reactive hazards of the process if analysis shows that the proposed process is safe, it may be excluded from additional regulatory requirements.

The National Pesticide Survey list (Table 7) is the only one that specifically considers the transformation products (TPs) of pesticides. This is remarkable because in the European Community regulations the importance of TPs of pesticides is indicated [165], and there is no mention of specific TPs. This specification in the European Community list is vague, thus making it difficult for laboratories currently involved in monitoring programs to select and assess the TPs of importance.
