EU Introduces Restrictions on Deca-BDE under REACH
Deca-BDE is widely used as a flame retardant in plastic and textile articles, as well as in adhesives, coatings, inks and sealants. It has been included on the Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHCs) since December 2012.
Published on February 10, 2017, Regulation (EU) 2017/227 creates a completely new entry 67 to Annex XVII of REACH. The new legislation contains several exemptions, including:
• Articles placed on the market before March 2, 2019
• Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) falling under Rohs II (Directive 2011/65/EU)
• Spare parts for vehicles (Directive 2007/46/EC) or machineries (Directive 2006/42/EC) that are manufactured before March 2, 2019
• The manufacture of aircraft, or their spare parts, before March 2, 2027
The new regulations will come into effect on March 2, 2019, and so stakeholders are now advised to check their product’s compliance with the new law.
