                            EU: Consumer organisation calls for specific monomers requirements in toys

                            june 2018 - Relevant for: Toys & children's products INDUSTRY

                            A consumer organisation, European Association for the Coordination of Consumer Representation in Standardization (ANEC), recently published a position paper1 that calls for specific monomers requirements in Appendix C of the Toy Directive 2009/48/EC.

                            Back to 2017, Germany identified 20 monomers with CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic of reproduction) properties that are regulated in FCM Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 for plastics2, and proposed to derive specific limits for the monomers in toys. Germany pointed out that the general CMR limits according to CLP Regulation3 in toy directive are insufficient to protect children health in some cases.

                            Two of the monomers, bisphenol A (BPA) and phenol, are already regulated under Appendix C of TSD, and a restriction for formaldehyde is under preparation by European Commission (EC). Seventeen remaining substances are needed to investigate further and some were already identified as the priority substances that should be restricted.

                            In the position paper, ANEC analysed the properties, toxicities, possible exposures for 5 priority substances which are likely to be used or found in toys. Content limits are proposed for non-threshold CMR substances following the recommendations given by the Scientific Committee4, taking into account the limits in existing FCM regulation for plastic materials and toy safety standards.
