MSC unanimously agrees that BPA is an endocrine disruptor

03 July 2017

The Member State Committee (MSC) supported the French proposal to additionally identify Bisphenol A as a substance of very high concern because of its endocrine disrupting properties which cause probable serious effects to human health. The committee also agreed to identify the substance PFHxS as an SVHC.
Bisphenol A is already listed in the Candidate List due to its toxic for reproduction properties. The MSC now unanimously agreed on its additional identification as an SVHC because of its endocrine disrupting properties which give rise to an equivalent level of concern to carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic to reproduction (CMRs category 1A or 1B) substances (ECHA Press Release, 16 June 2017).
