The European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has published preliminary opinions on seven substances.

These substances are：

• Furfural
• 2, 6-diaminopyridine
• 2-amino-5-ethylphenol HCl
• Basic brown 17
• Acid red 92
• Disperse blue 377
• HC blue n° 15

These opinions have been developed by the SCCS on the basis of a specific dossier submitted by an applicant, including industry and member state authorities, in order to satisfy specific regulatory requirements. The opinions have been approved for adoption by the SCCS in its most recent plenary meeting and are now open for comments by applicants, national authorities and other interested parties for a period of four weeks after publication(with the deadline of 7 May 2012). The intent of this commenting period is for applicants and other interested parties to provide limited additional perspective and/or clarification on the evaluation, interpretation, and incorporation of the submitted specific data package in the SCCS opinion.
