EU POPs

October 4, 2024 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

Additions and Changes to EU POPs Regulated Substances List

European Commission adding one substance group and amending thresholds for another under EU POPs regulation

On September 27, 2024, European Commission issued two amendments to the EU Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation adding one substance group and changing the thresholds for another.

EU POPs amendment (EU) 2024/2555 reduces the allowed concentration threshold of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) as an unintentional trace contaminant (UTC) from 100 mg/kg to 75 mg/kg if it's found in substances, mixtures, or flame-resistant products.

However, HBCDD may still be used up to 100 mg/kg for the use of recycled polystyrene in the production of EPS and XPS insulation material for use in buildings or civil engineering works.

In electronics manufacturing, HBCDD is commonly used as a flame retardant for casings and housings of devices like televisions and computer monitors.

Additionally, EU POPs amendment (EU) 2024/2570 adds the following substance group to Part A of Annex I:

Substance

CAS No.

EC No.

Specific exemption

Methoxychlor

“Methoxychlor” refers to any possible isomer of dimethoxydiphenyltrichloroethane or any combination thereof.

72-43-5

30667-99-3

76733-77-2

255065-25-9

255065-26-0

59424-81-6

1348358-72-4

and others

200-779-9

For the purposes of this entry, Article 4(1), point (b), shall apply to concentrations of methoxychlor equal to or below 0,01 mg/kg (0,000001 % by weight) where they are present in substances, mixtures or articles.

Methoxychlor is commonly used as an insecticide to control pests on agricultural crops, livestock, and in home gardens.

Both amendments will take effect on the twentieth day following their publication, which is October 17, 2024.

The full text of Amendment (EU) 2024/2555 can be found here, and the full text of amendment (EU) 2024/2570 can be found here.
