On 11 July, the REACH Committee meeting approved a proposal restrict the phthalates DEHP, DBP, DIBP and BBP in articles.
The four phthalates are on the REACH candidate list of SVHCs for their reprotoxic as well as endocrine disrupting properties.
Under the proposal they would be restricted to a concentration equal to or below 0.1% by weight individually or in any combination in any plasticised material in articles used by consumers or those used in indoor areas.
The restriction will then be published in the EU’s Official Journal and will apply 18 months after the entry into force to products produced both in and outside of the EU.
MTS reminds related companies to timely follow up on new laws and regulations, produce and export according to requirements, and pay attention to the requirements of the declaration of conformity. Scientific safety assessments must be carried out during the product design phase to the bulk production phase to ensure that relevant products meet the new regulatory requirements and avoid export risk.
