On February 18th, 2025, the EU issued the revised draft of POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, proposing to revise the limits of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

Warm tips

As typical POPs, PBDEs and PCBs have strong persistence, bioaccumulation and high toxicity, which are seriously harmful to the ecological environment and human health. Reducing the limit value of POPs regulations revised by the EU this time means that the control of these harmful substances will be further strengthened. ZRLK suggests that relevant enterprises should always pay attention to the dynamics of POPs regulations in the EU and investigate the compliance of substances involved in the upstream and downstream of the supply chain as early as possible to ensure that products put into the EU market meet the control requirements of POPs regulations and avoid unnecessary trade losses.
