European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety

The European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) is an expert panel that provides independent scientific advice to the European Union on the safety of products, especially cosmetics, biocidal products, and other consumer goods. Its goal is to assess potential health risks associated with ingredients and formulations, ensuring products are safe for consumers. The committee reviews scientific studies, evaluates new data, and helps set safety standards and regulations. This work helps protect public health and maintains trust in products available within the EU market.
