Germany Notifies Echa of SVHC Intention for BPA
Germany has notified Echa it intends to submit a proposal identifying bisphenol A (BPA) as an SVHC on the grounds it has "equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment". It is expected to submit it on 7 August.
In June, Echa's Member State Committee (MSC) agreed with a French proposal that BPA is an SVHC due to its endocrine disrupting properties that cause probable serious effects to human health.
And the substance was added to the candidate list in January on the grounds that it has properties that are toxic to reproduction.
