BANNOCKBURN, IL — The IPC has communicated the organization’s concerns over the inclusion of TBBPA in the latest draft list of substances for priority examination under RoHS to EU commissioners.

According to ENDS Europe DAILY, the draft by the European Commission's Environment Directorate-General (DG) with a new annex listing five substances for priority assessment and potential inclusion in RoHS, including TBBPA.

“TBBPA has already undergone a comprehensive EU Risk Assessment and, therefore, is not expected to be subject to authorization under REACH,” explained McGuirk. “The recommendation for priority review of TBBPA under RoHS seemingly undermines the EU’s emerging chemicals policy and law under REACH. We urge the commission to reconsider the inclusion of TBBPA in its list of ‘priority review’ substances under RoHS.”
