On Feburary 9, 2024, european Union committee issued a code draft, plan to edit (EU) No 10/2011 and (EC) No 1895/2005, replace and abolish (EU) 2018/213, this draft prohibits using double phenolic A in food contact material and goods, normative still other the use of double phenol and its ramification, public opinion collects date of expiration to be on March 8, 2024.

Double phenolic A is used extensively at the food such as coating of plastic, varnish, printing ink, adhesive, balata to contact material, the European Union takes the lead in the heavy about-face that taboo is indicating the tradition is chemical, deserve attention of relevant company emphasis.

The main content that plans to update is as follows:

One, the canal that enlarges double phenolic material accuses limits

Use at producing food the contact is plastic, varnish and coating, presswork printing ink, adhesive, the BPA; of ion exchange colophony and balata

Use at producing food to contact varnish and coating, presswork printing ink, adhesive, of ion exchange colophony and balata other double phenol and double phenolic ramification, these corporeal rank code (VI of appendix of EC) No 1272/2008 the 3rd part, because their unified classification is “ to send abnormal ” , “ to send ”1A of noxiousness of reproduction of cancerous ” , “ or 1B kind or 1 kind of “ are endocrine to human health disturb ” ;

The food that monitor contacts BADGE (aether of glycerine of shrink of double phenolic A2 (CAS No 1675-54-3) ) base heavy anticorrosive varnish and coating, use at filtering film and contain reclaim of the paper of material and chipboard get together the existence of the BPA in sulphone colophony or migratory.

2, prohibit the use of BPA

Prohibit contacting varnish and coating in food, presswork printing ink, adhesive, any production phase of ion exchange colophony and balata use double phenolic A, and prohibit putting the market on part or the product of final food contact that comprise by these data that use double phenolic A to make entirely.

Allow to use the system before double phenolic A serves as when synthesizing BADGE and its ramification, use its as the BADGE that make and puts in the market base the monomer of heavy anticorrosive varnish and coating, but have the following restriction:

BADGE of liquid annulus oxygen base before weighing anticorrosive varnish and coating to answer to produce move in sequel due and alone the batch; that can identify

Go out in check be restricted (LOD) falls for the circumstance of 0.01 Mg/kg, besmear has BADGE base the material of heavy anticorrosive varnish and coating and article must not detect a migratory double phenolic A;

Use when production and the material that food contacts and article contain BADGE base heavy anticorrosive varnish and coating, must not bring about the hair when its are in manufacturing process or be being contacted with food to unboiled water is solved or hold the post of how he reacts, bring about BPA of the existence in these material and article or food thereby.

3, other double phenol kind the specific use requirement that reachs double phenolic ramification

Code (place of the 3rd part lists VI of appendix of EC) No 1272/2008 double phenol and double phenolic ramification, because its unite classification to be 1A or 1B kind “ sends choppy ” , “ to send ” of cancerous ” , “ reproduction noxiousness or endocrine of 1 kind of “ to disturb ” , harmful to human health, prohibit contacting varnish and coating in food, presswork use in the production of colophony of printing ink, adhesive, ion exchange and balata, unless satisfy the following requirement:

(The accredit of A) double phenol or double phenolic ramification applies for already according to code (EC) No 1935/2004 refers director authorities the 9th times

(The information that B) provides to management board accords with code (EC) No 1935/2004 the 9th regulation, include a statement, showing this application is a basis a referred application;

(C) is in charge of authorities to did not think relevant application is invalid, reach;

(The use of D) double phenol or double phenolic ramification is confined to what describe in application to anticipate use condition.

4, detect and report result

The existence that puts in following food to contact the manufacturer of material and article to should monitor BPA on European Union market and its are migratory:

(A) uses BADGE base the material of heavy anticorrosive varnish and coating and article;

(B) filters film is used get together sulphone colophony;

(C) is contained reclaim the paper of material and chipboard material and article.

Operator, ought to contact material and article to the food that its put the market on batch 5% undertake monitoring. Operator ought to choose batch randomly. When serial production, when cannot identifying individual batch, should be in do not exceed stock average in producing a system retention period inside the manufacturing cycle of 200 times random sampling.

If be in begin to monitor or basis this detect last time inside 6 months after double phenolic A, in any batch or cycle in sampling, did not detect double phenolic A, and the production that has 10 batch or cycle at least is monitored, monitor can reduce batch 1% or of average retention period 1000 times (like the likelihood) .
