New Regulation for Tattoo Inks

With the regulation Regulation (EU) 2021/2081 from December 2020 concerning the evaluation and restriction of chemical substances in tattoo inks and permanent make-up, new substance specifications for heavy metals, aromatic amines, dyes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are being implemented.

This also amends an annex of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH Regulation).

Finally, manufacturers of such products must comply with the specifications mentioned in the regulation text by January 4th, 2022, at the latest.

The BAV Institute, as part of the international Tentamus laboratory group, supports you with state-of-the-art analytical methods to comply with the new requirements.

Contact us, we look forward to hearing from you!
