European veto restrictions on four types of phthalates recommended

Denmark proposes to limit the use of Category 4 phthalates in consumer products in accordance with the Regulations on Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals, which has been rejected by scientific experts of the European Chemicals Agency.

The European Chemicals Agency's risk assessment committee believes that Denmark's proposal to limit the use of phthalates in consumer products is not fully justified. The four types of phthalates are diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and phthalic acid Diisobutyl ester (DIBP).

Last year, the Danish authorities submitted a restriction bill aimed at reducing human exposure to the four types of phthalates through consumer products. All four types of phthalates are said to affect fertility, and consumer goods containing these substances include footwear, textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, and insulation materials for wires and cables.

Denmark proposes that if the product contains one or more of the above-mentioned phthalates, its concentration is calculated to be more than 0.1% by weight of the plasticized material and it is intended for indoor use or will be in direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes and should not be placed on the market.

The four types of phthalates have been included in the list of substances authorized for use under Annex XIV of the Registration, Evaluation and Permission of Chemicals Regulations and will be banned from use in the European Union from February 21, 2015, unless certain There are no substitutes for use, and the manufacturer has applied for and granted use to the authorities. EU producers can apply by August 21, 2013 for a specific and time-limited exemption to authorize the use of the above four types of phthalates.
