On July 5, 2017, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environment and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) adopted their preliminary opinion on strengthening the aluminum migration limits in toys. This opinion, based on the most recent set of data relating to tolerable intake levels for aluminum, would lower the aluminum migration limits in each of the three toy material categories to approximately 40% of the existing.

The European Commission and SCHEER have recently announced a public consultation on this preliminary opinion. According to the announcement, written comments on this opinion must be submitted by September 10, 2017, for future considerations.
