SUU, Alm.del - 2012-13 - Bilag 479: Henvendelse af 30/9-13 fra Dansk Tatovør Laug vedr. tatoveringsfarver

I forbindelse med den bekendtgørelse der er på vej fra Miljøstyrelsens side, har Dansk Tatovør Laugindhentet en uvildig udtalelse fra Cand. Scient. Ole Olsen, Medico Chemical Lab, Vedbæk.

Derudover vil Lauget gerne henlede udvalgets opmærksomhed på nedenstående udtalelse fra CTL,Bielefeld - vel nok Europas førende indenfor analyse og sikkerhedsgodkendelse aftatoveringsfarver(http://ctl-tattoo.net/News/index.php?o=79):

Legislation in DenmarkThe main problem with the new law is the risk assessment. This is based on the products but also onthe purity of these. This means a full analysis for any impurities must be conducted in order to setup the risk assessment.Although there are similarities with EU and German Laws, this part is completely different and willbe quite expensive and time-consuming. Without this part in the law all would be no problem forthe manufacturers.A note on Denmark:The population in Denmark is just over 1% of the total population of the EU.The GDP is just below 2% of the GDP of the EU and under 10% of the GDP in Germany.

The majority of Tattoo Ink Manufacturers are global players, exporting to Europe, Asia, SouthAmerica, Australia and the US and Canada. In this respect the Danish market is minute and it isquestionable wether the global players are interested in such a small market.A further question, which was also discussed at the meeting of the BVL in Germany in June 2013,is where can a manufacturer buy the required products in order to fullfil the requirements.Another mishap of this law, besides not mentioning permanent make-up, are the missing analyticalmethods for the denoted limits. Without mentioning methods these limits are questionable. This isbasic analytical chemistry knowledge.2 August 2013. � CTL� Bielefeld GmbH
