El California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has initiated a review process for p,pʹ-bisphenol chemicals under Proposition 65. (1) These substances, including bisphenols and their ethers and esters, have been selected for evaluation by the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC) for potential listing as reproductive toxicants.
OEHHA is currently requesting scientific information to support the development of hazard identification materials. Submissions should include animal studies, human epidemiological data, or evidence on mechanisms of reproductive or developmental toxicity.
Details of the Review Process
OEHHA will compile and prepare hazard identification materials for DARTIC’s consideration. These materials will undergo public review and comment before the committee’s formal evaluation. The meeting date and agenda for DARTIC’s review will be published on the California Regulatory Notice Register and on OEHHA’s official website once confirmed.
Submissions may be made electronically through OEHHA’s website or mailed directly to their Sacramento office before the deadline.
Fecha límite para comentarios
Todo scientific information relevant to the reproductive toxicity of p,pʹ-bisphenol chemicals must be submitted by December 1, 2025.
Por qué es importante
This review could have regulatory implications for manufacturers of plastics, resins, and coatings, incluido envases de alimentos producers. If listed under Proposition 65, products containing these chemicals may require reformulation, new labeling, or additional risk communication measures to ensure compliance.
Who This Affects
Esta actualización es particularmente relevante para asuntos regulatorios, product safety, toxicology, y equipos de I+D within industries that manufacture or utilize bisphenol-based materials. Compliance teams should start evaluating product portfolios for p,pʹ-bisphenol presence and gather supporting scientific evidence.
Próximos pasos
Organizations are encouraged to:
- Review current formulations for p,pʹ-bisphenols and related compounds.
- Compile relevant toxicological data from internal or published sources.
- Submit supporting evidence to OEHHA before the deadline to contribute to the hazard identification process.
To manage such updates efficiently, leveraging automated intelligence platforms can ensure no deadlines or compliance shifts are missed.
