  • When can a product containing DEHP & DBP be placed on the market?
  • Articles containing DEHP, DBP, DIBP, and BBP in a concentration, individually or in combination, greater than or equal to 0.1% by weight of the plasticised material shall not be placed on the market. Paragraph 1 shall apply three years from the entry into force of the restriction.
  • Which plasticisers are being used as replacements for DBP phthalates?
  • Annex II of the mandate (see Appendix A, Table A.1 in this scientific opinion), includes plasticisers such as terephthalates, cyclohexanoates and epoxy esters that are being used as replacements of the five ortho -phthalates DBP, BBP, DEHP, DINP and DIDP.
  • Are DBP phthalates the same as BBP?
  • While the three phthalates DBP, DEHP and BBP seemed to act on the same target organ (the testis), the profile of their effects at the hormonal and cellular level was not identical and their individual modes of action (MoA) had yet to be demonstrated. Moreover, the two others, DIDP and DINP, primarily affect the liver rather than the testis.
  • Does DIBP increase phthalate exposure?
  • However, noting the similar (i) potency with regard to reproductive effects and (ii) intake estimates compared to DBP, the CEP Panel considers that DIBP substantially adds to the overall exposure of consumers to phthalates, from food and from other sources.
  • How much phthalate is in DBP & DEHP?
  • Levels of DBP and DEHP ranged, respectively: < 25 to 150 μg/kg and < 50 to 5,000 μg/kg for samples collected close to an industrial area and an airport, while these phthalates were below the LOD (8 μg/kg for DBP and 20 μg/kg for DEHP) in samples collected in non‐industrial sites (Ierapetritis et al., 2014 ).
  • Is bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate a risk?
  • This 5 ECHA (2014, 2015) Opinions on Applications for Authorisation for Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). implies that the existing risk management measures are insufficient and the exposure from indoor environment, food and contact with articles poses a risk.
