Technical Report 130

APPENDIX C: DRAFT COMMISSION REGULATIONS SETTING OUT SCIENTIFIC CRITERIA FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING PROPERTIES AND AMENDING THE PPP AND BP REGULATIONS

The two draft legal acts setting the criteria to identify EDs that the Commission presented on 15 June 2016 (described below) now need to be adopted according to the relevant procedures, which in both cases involve Parliament and Council. Three further rounds of discussions with experts and Member States took place on 21 September 2016, 18 November 2016, and 21 December 2016. The revised criteria clarify the scope of the WHO/IPCS (2002) definition, the burden of proof, the scope of the criteria, and the kind of scientific evidence that can be used to identify EDs. The original text concerning PPP has been split into one text containing the criteria and one text containing the technical amendment to the clause on negligible exposure.

  • Draft Commission Regulation setting out scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine disrupting properties and amending Annex II to the PPP Regulation
  • Draft Commission Delegated Regulation setting out scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine-disrupting properties pursuant to the BP Regulation
