One of the responsibilities of the SCCS is to recommend guidelines for the cosmetics and raw materials industries to develop adequate studies for the safety evaluation of cosmetics. The SCCS evaluates the dossiers submitted by industry through the Directorate General of Health and Consumers (DG SANCO). The cosmetics ingredients evaluated by the SCCS correspond to those in the Annexes of the Regulations and to substances forbidden in Annex II, restricted substances in Annex II, and colorants, preservatives and UV-filters in Annexes IV, V and VI respectively.
