9789241571319Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, often called DEHP, is a chemical used to make plastics, especially PVC, more flexible and durable. You might find it in items like vinyl flooring, medical tubing, shower curtains, and some toys. DEHP is regulated because it can interfere with the body's hormone system, acting as an endocrine disruptor, and it is also classified as toxic for reproduction. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists DEHP on the REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). This means it is being phased out for most uses under REACH Annex XIV, requiring companies to get special authorization to continue using it. The goal is to protect people and the environment from its potential effects. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, often called DEHP, is a chemical used to make plastics soft and flexible. You might find it in items like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, medical tubing, and some toys. It belongs to a group called phthalates. California's Proposition 65 regulates DEHP because scientific studies show it can cause cancer and harm development and reproduction. The state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) lists it as a chemical known to cause these effects. This doesn't mean every product with DEHP is dangerous, but it means the law requires businesses to warn you if you might be exposed to it. The goal is to help you make informed choices.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, often called DEHP, is a chemical used to make plastics soft and flexible, like in cables, wires, and some medical devices. It belongs to a group called phthalates. The European Union restricts DEHP under the RoHS Directive because it can harm reproduction and disrupt the body's hormone system. This means it may interfere with natural processes in humans and wildlife. Products sold in the EU must contain less than 0.1% of DEHP by weight in each homogeneous material. This rule helps reduce exposure to this substance in everyday items. The restriction is part of the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II, updated in 2015.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, also known as DEHP, is a chemical used to make plastics soft and flexible. You might find it in items like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, or medical tubing. In cosmetics, it was once used in nail polishes or fragrances to help products spread or last longer. However, the European Union bans DEHP in all cosmetic products under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, because it is classified as a substance that may harm human health. The EU considers it a reproductive toxicant, meaning it can affect fertility or harm a developing baby. It is also listed as a probable human carcinogen by some agencies. The ban ensures that cosmetics sold in the EU do not contain this chemical, protecting consumers from potential long-term risks.
