FDA extends the comment period on new sunscreen rules

News Archive

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended the deadline for comments on its proposed new rule for sunscreen products from 26 November to 26 December 2007. The final rule will update the 1999 rule on sunscreens, especially those protecting against ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, and will set new labelling requirements for protection against ultraviolet A (UVA) rays.

Update: the FDA's final rule, issued in 2011, introduced "broad spectrum" labelling for sunscreens that protect against both UVA and UVB.
