في الأول من أبريل 2016، أصدر مكتب تقييم مخاطر الصحة البيئية (OEHHA) إشعارًا بعنوان " إشعار بإجراء طارئ لتعديل المادة 25603.3 من الباب 27 من قانون كاليفورنيا للوائح التحذيرات من التعرض لمادة بيسفينول أ من الأطعمة والمشروبات المعلبة أو المعبأة في زجاجات، لاقتراح الاستخدام المؤقت لرسالة تحذير قياسية في نقاط البيع بشأن مادة بيسفينول أ (BPA) للأطعمة والمشروبات المعلبة والمعبأة في زجاجات. تهدف الرسالة التحذيرية المقترحة إلى منع الرسائل التحذيرية غير المتسقة وتقليل فرصة حدوث ارتباك بين المستهلكين وحماية المستهلكين من السمية الإنجابية لثنائي الفينول أ. تمت إضافة BPA إلى قائمة الاقتراح 65 في 11 مايو 2015 ويبدأ شرط التحذير الخاص به بعد عام واحد من ذلك(انظر الملخص التنظيمي: العدد 2، مايو 2015). وفي الوقت نفسه، في عملية منفصلة لوضع القواعد، تقترح إدارة الصحة والصحة المهنية في OEHHA مستوى الجرعة القصوى المسموح بها من BPA (MADL) للتعرض عن طريق الجلد ولكن ليس للتعرض عن طريق الفم لمادة BPA من الأغذية والمشروبات. لذلك، لا يغطي الحد الأقصى للجرعة المسموح بها (MADL) بطانة راتنجات الإيبوكسي المستخدمة في علب الأغذية والمشروبات المعدنية. يمكن أن تتسبب المنتجات التي تحتوي على بطانات راتنجات الإيبوكسي في التعرض لمادة BPA وقد تتطلب تحذيرًا.

بمجرد دخول شرط وضع ملصق التحذير حيز التنفيذ، قد يضع تجار التجزئة تحذيرات على جميع المنتجات الغذائية والمشروبات التي قد تحتوي على BPA، بينما قد يحذر آخرون بشكل انتقائي وغير متسق. ويرجع ذلك إلى حقيقة أن الأطعمة المعلبة والمعبأة في زجاجات لها عمر تخزيني يصل إلى 3 سنوات وأن لائحة التحذير الحالية الخاصة بالمقترح 65 تنطبق على المنتجات التي تنتج بعد مايو 2015. مع وجود فترة انتقالية مدتها عام واحد، لا يزال هناك كمية كبيرة من المنتجات التي تم تصنيعها أو إنتاجها قبل مايو 2015 لا تزال على الرفوف دون تحذيرات.

في الوقت الحالي، لا يوجد شرط تنظيمي لتحذير المقترح 65 لتسمية المادة الكيميائية أو التأثير الصحي المرتبط بها. قد تختار بعض الشركات تسمية مادة BPA في رسالتها التحذيرية وتقديم معلومات تكميلية عن BPA، بينما قد تكتفي شركات أخرى بالقول "يحتوي منتج الطعام أو المشروبات على مادة كيميائية معروفة لدى ولاية كاليفورنيا بأنها تسبب تشوهات خلقية أو أضرارًا أخرى على الإنجاب". قد تتسبب هذه الرسائل العامة في حدوث ارتباك بين المستهلكين ولا تخدم مصلحة الجمهور.

وفي ضوء هذه الشواغل، فإن الاستخدام المؤقت لرسالة تحذيرية موحدة وموحدة في نقاط البيع بشأن حمض البيسفينول أسيتيل الفينيل متعدد البروم من شأنه أن يعالج المشاكل ويتجنب الارتباك العام الناتج عن الرسائل التحذيرية غير المتسقة.

On January 27, 2016, Assembly Bill 1821, 2014 was re-introduced as Assembly Bill 1437, 2016 to propose an act related to bisphenol A (BPA). The bill would prohibit the sale and distribution of food and beverage packaging and containers made with BPA as well as food and beverage storage containers made with BPA. The re-introduced bill is identical to the previous bill. Once the bill is passed and signed into law, this act will be effective immediately.

A storage container here means any refillable or reusable plastic container which may be used for reheating or storage of food and beverage, for examples:

  1. Thermoses

  2. Baby bottles

  3. Coolers

  4. Resealable containers

On February 24, 2016, the Public Safety and Security Committee introduced House Bill No. 5404 "An Act Concerning Toxic Flame Retardant Chemicals in Children's Products and Furniture". The proposed act would prohibit children's products and upholstered residential furniture from containing certain flame retardant chemicals. The implementation of prohibition is divided into 2 phases with the same flame retardants being prohibited:

The Mayor may request the manufacturer to provide a certificate demonstrating compliance with the act in 45 days. Otherwise, the manufacturer shall notify persons or entities, who sell and distribute the product, that the product does not comply with the act and submit a list of the names and addresses of those notified.

On March 10, 2016, the Washington House Bill, HB 2545 to amend the Children's Safe Product Act (CSPA) Chapter 70.240 RCW was approved by the president of the Washington State Senate. The amendment adds restrictions on flame retardant chemicals in children's products and residential upholstered furniture. Also, the Department of Ecology (DoE) will consider to include other unrestricted flame retardants as Chemicals of High Concern to Children (CHCC). Once the bill is signed into law, manufacturers, wholesalers or retailers shall not manufacture, sell or distribute children's products and upholstered furniture containing flame retardants starting from July 1, 2017. The restricted concentration is 1000 ppm in any product component and the restricted flame retardants include:

The newly added products are as follows:

  1. PPE that is designed for private use against heat, such as gloves

  2. PPE for self-defense in sport activities

The new regulation divides PPE's into 3 risk categories and it is the responsibility of manufacturer to carry out a risk assessment in order to identify the risks for the PPE:

  1. Category I: Minimal risks, such as

    • Superficial mechanical injury

    • Contact with cleaning materials of weak action or prolonged contact with water

  2. Category II: Risks other than those listed in Categories I and III

  3. Category III: Risks that cause very serious consequences, such as

On March 14, 2016, the European Union (EU) published a draft directive regarding the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in varnishes and coatings intended to come into contact with food. The scope of the BPA prohibition in food contact materials or articles is proposed to expand by establishing a migration limit regarding varnish or coating materials that come into contact with food. The Specific Migration Limit (SML) of BPA is proposed to be lowered in Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 on Plastic Materials and Articles intended to Come into Contact with Food.

BPA has widely been used in epoxy resins for varnishes and coatings on food cans. Food is possibly exposed to BPA and therefore EU proposes to establish a SML for BPA in varnishes and coatings to ensure a high level of protection to humans. In light of this, a SML of 0.05mg/kg has been proposed. Also, business operators shall ensure that a written declaration of compliance is available for the varnished or coated materials and articles.

While the SML of BPA under Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 is proposed to be revised from 0.6 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg. The BPA requirement for polycarbonate infant feeding bottles will remain unchanged.

On June 13, 2016, the Directive 2014/53/EU Radio Equipment (RE Directive) will enter into force. European marketed radio products that currently comply with the Directive 1999/5/EC Radio & Telecommunication Terminal Equipment (R & TTE Directive) will now have to comply with the new RE Directive. The R & TTE Directive will be repealed on the same date.

The RE Directive is similar to the R & TTE Directive with a change in the scope. The scopes of both Directives are summarized below for comparison:
