Compliance FAQs: RoHS | NIST
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) (0.1 %) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (0.1 %) Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (0.1 %) Medical devices have a two-year extension to meet RoHS 3 compliance. “The restriction of DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP shall apply to medical devices, including in vitro medical devices, and monitoring and control instruments, including
2 Application of DEHP, DBP and BBP in products and articles
2.2 Application of DEHP 2.3 Application of DBP 2.4 Application of BBP 2.1 The phthalates The term "phthalates" is here (and commonly) used for esters of ortho-phthalic acid and are the most commonly used plasticisers in the world. The general structural formula of phthalates is shown in Figure 2.1.
Phthalates Business Guidance & Small Entity Compliance Guide
The CPSIA’s permanent prohibition concerning DEHP, DBP, and BBP remains in effect. Thus, any children’s toy or child care article that contains concentrations of more than 0.1 percent of the following phthalates is prohibited: di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP),
REACH Phthalates Regulations Amended to Apply to All Articles
0.1%. Details of the amendments to REACH Annex XVII are as follows: The number of restricted phthalates increased from three (DEHP, DBP, and BBP) to four with the inclusion of DIBP; The limit of all four restricted phthalates is 0.1% by weight (individually or in combination) of the plasticized material; The scope of product types containing
Phthalates - Proposition 65 Warnings Website
BBP (butyl benzyl phthalate) during pregnancy may affect the development of the child. DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate) during pregnancy may affect the development of the child, and may also harm the male and female reproductive systems. DEHP (di (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate) may increase the risk of cancer, and may harm the male reproductive system.
- What is a substitute for DBP?
- Has very similar application properties to DBP and may therefore be used to substitute for DBP in most, if not all, of its applications. The main alternatives to DEHP have been the two phthalates di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP).
- Can DBP and DEHP be metabolized?
- Sun et al. (2015) found that DBP and DEHP could be absorbed by the roots of lettuce, strawberry, and carrot, and were subsequently transported to various parts of the plants where they were metabolized to produce mono- n -butyl phthalate (MBP) and mono (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), respectively.
- Does dibutyl phthalate (DBP) adsorption work on corncob biochar (fresh and oxidized?
- So far, the competitive adsorption of PAEs to biochar has not been reported. In this study, the competitive adsorption of Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on corncob biochar (fresh and oxidized) was investigated, and experiments of kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were conducted.
- How much phthalate is in DBP & DEHP?
- Levels of DBP and DEHP ranged, respectively: < 25 to 150 μg/kg and < 50 to 5,000 μg/kg for samples collected close to an industrial area and an airport, while these phthalates were below the LOD (8 μg/kg for DBP and 20 μg/kg for DEHP) in samples collected in non-industrial sites (Ierapetritis et al., 2014 ).
- What are alternatives to DEHP?
- The main alternatives to DEHP have been the two phthalates di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP). As illustrated in Figure 2.3 in Sweden the shift from DEHP to first of all DINP took mainly place in the period 1999 to 2002.
- Why is DEHP stronger than DBP?
- The stronger adsorption of DEHP than DBP resulted from its stronger hydrophobic interaction with biochar. Phthalates (PAEs) often exist simultaneously in contaminated soil and wastewater systems, and their adsorption to biochar might impact their behavior in the environment.
