EU proposal to add PAHs to Annex 17 of REACH adopted

Recently, the EU confirmed the addition of restrictions on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in finished products to Annex 17 of REACH. This proposal is expected to be published in the Official Journal of the European Union around the end of October 2013 and officially enter into force at the end of 2015.

  Annex 17, Section 50 of the REACH Regulation primarily restricts polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tire filler oils. This proposal includes PAHs. The specific proposal is as follows:

– The content limit for PAHs in finished plastic or rubber parts that come into contact with consumers should be set at less than 1 mg/kg.

– For children's products and toys, the content of PAHs in rubber and plastic parts that children come into contact with must not exceed 0.5 mg/kg.

– The restrictions on PAHs have been extended to finished products and components that will come into repeated contact with the skin or mouth for long or short periods of time.

However, this restriction does not apply to objects that only come into contact with the skin or mouth for short periods or occasionally.

Currently, there are alternative raw materials with low PAH content available in the EU market, including carbon black and oils. The European Commission believes that all stakeholders will need some time to adapt to the new restrictions.
