Proposal to restrict bisphenols with endocrine disrupting properties for the environment | Status: oppinion under development

The status of the proposed restriction on "Bisphenols with endocrine disrupting properties for the environment and their salts" on ECHA website has been updated to: "opinon development".  

The proposal intends to restrict the placing on the market of mixtures and articles where concentration is equal to or greater than 10 ppm (0.001 % by weight) of bisphenols with endocrine disrupting properties for the environment and their salts
The first condition shall not apply to mixtures and articles where the bisphenols in the scope of the restriction are either covalently bound to any type of matrix (i.e. via functioning as a cross-linker) or are used as intermediates in the manufacture of polymers, and for which

i. contact to aqueous media in any form (i.e. also cleaning) can be excluded during their reasonable and foreseeable use throughout their service life or

ii. the migration limit in the respective mixtures and articles does not exceed 0.04 mg/L over the entire service life.
