considered toxicologically safe and not on tbe manner of their actual
processing or use. The list of pigments and coJourants prescr-ibed in
this standard IS based on the information available through published
literature of the French Regulation and other naeronal legislarion
reports. The toxicological effects of these colourants have not been
investigated so far.
0.3.1 In this standard, limits for copper and ti" have not been
prescribed as copper and tin are not released from metallic pigments to
toxic Iimirs.
