On December 17, 2014, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted 3-2 to approve for publication and public comment a proposed new regulation that would lift the existing ban of some phthalates, while imposing a new ban on other phthalates in toys and child care articles.
| Scope | Substances | Limit (per phthalates ) |
Current Phtnalates ristriction in CPSIA | children’s toyor child care article | Permanent ban: DEHP、DBP、BBP | 0.1% |
children’s toy that can be placed in a child’s mouth or child care article | Interim ban: DINP、DIDP、DNOP | 0.1% |
Proposed ristriction | children’s toyor child care article | Permanent ban: DEHP、DBP、BBP、DINP、DIBP、DPENP、DHEXP、DCHP | 0.1% |
The proposed new rule would continue the “permanent ban” (limit of 1,000 parts-per-million [0.1%] in accessible plasticized components of such products) of DEHP, DBP and BBP; would lift the current “interim” ban on DIDP and DnOP but continue permanently the ban on DINP; and would impose a new ban on DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP and DCHP in excess of 1,000 ppm.
