Quarterly desk notes exist so we do not rewrite “what is EU regulation” every month. These five were the Q2 pile.
Members Quarterly desk
CNEUUS
2026 Q2 desk: SCCS season, China methods, MoCRA status board
Owner takeaway
1. SCCS opinions ≠ annex law.
2. China method announcements (No. 51 and friends) are lab work.
3. Mercury STSC date 1 July 2026 was the China cliff at quarter-end.
4. FDA Voices is a status board; listing is still the live US duty.
5. Do not start EU allergen artwork in Q3 if Q2 did not freeze the fragrance files.
Why this now
