The only Finnish National Regulation 268/1992 (CTM) (Finnish version) applies to contact materials manufactured in Finland or imported directly from third countries which do not have harmonized EU legislation. However, although harmonized legislation exists on ceramic contact materials (Directives 84/500/EEC, 2005/31/EC), which has been put into force nationally in Finland by Regulation KTM 165/2006), this Decision applies to ceramic products with a lip line and/or intended for toddlers.
The decision does not apply to contact materials imported from the EU single market if they are legally on the market in this other EU country.
The aspect of the Decree that can be considered particularly good is that it specifies lower limit values (1/10) for articles designed for infants and small children.
