4.3.7 Constituents with hazard classification<br />
Out <strong>of</strong> the 461 different chemical substances which <strong>for</strong>m a part <strong>of</strong> the 208<br />
<strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>children</strong> 19 <strong>of</strong> these are classified as hazardous in pure<br />
<strong>for</strong>m according to the List <strong>of</strong> dangerous substances (Stat. Ord. 923, 2005). In<br />
practice, this is checked via a data run where CAS numbers as stated on the<br />
INCI list are compared with CAS numbers from the List <strong>of</strong> dangerous<br />
substances. The result is seen below.<br />
