EU-28: Criteria to Identify Endocrine Disruptors Published
On April 20, 2018, the Commission published Regulation 2018/605, identifying endocrine disrupting properties under Regulation 1107/2009 on plant protection products, in the Official Journal. The criteria to identify endocrine disruptors will apply as of October 20, 2018 to all on-going and future evaluations of active substances used in plant protection products. Meanwhile, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are finalizing a technical Guidance document to implement the criteria for both biocides and pesticides. The Guidance document should become available by June 2018.
