For those chemicals identified in point 2 above, to collect and critically analyse clinical and statistical evidence on the incidence and morbidity (clinical picture) of skin contact allergy (contact dermatitis) cases in the EU before (at least 3 years) and after the limits were set, so as to allow an assessment of the possible effect of the limits in the reduction/prevention of the incidence and morbidity of contact dermatitis.
