The Member State Committee unanimously agreed on the identification as substances of very high concern (SVHCs) of Bisphenol A and PFHxS and its salts
The Member State Committee (MSC) supported the French proposal to additionally identify Bisphenol A as a substance of very high concern because of its endocrine disrupting properties which cause probable serious effects to human health. The Committee also agreed to identify the substance PFHxS as an SVHC.
ECHA will include PFHxS in the Candidate List and will update the current entry for BPA accordingly by the end of June 2017. Companies may have legal obligations with respect to these substances upon publication of the updated Candidate List.
