Restriction proposal for bisphenols withdrawn The German authorities have withdrawn their proposal to restrict bisphenols that have endocrine disrupting properties to the environment from the opinion-making process by ECHA’s scientific committees. They intend to re-submit an updated proposal to ECHA once they have considered the information submitted by stakeholders during the six-month consultation and reworked the scope of the restriction.
Once resubmitted, the proposal will be subject to a new consultation and scrutiny by ECHA’s scientific committees. The timing of resubmission will be announced through ECHA’s Registry of restriction intentions.

Board of Appeal
Appeal against a compliance check decision dismissed In case A-006-2022, the Appellants challenged a compliance check decision requiring an extended one-generation reproductive toxicity study (EOGRTS) under REACH Annex IX. The Appellants argued that the time limit set out in the decision prevented them from investigating the effects of their substance on the gut microbiome before starting the EOGRTS.
The Board of Appeal held that the Agency was not required to extend the time limit, as the investigation of the effects of the substance on the gut microbiome is not a legal prerequisite for conducting the EOGRTS nor is scientifically necessary based on the existing information. Announcement of a new appeal The Board of Appeal has published an announcement in case A-009-2023 concerning a compliance check decision. |
