Item Subject: German Dioxin regulation
Hello Bharat,
On July 6th, 1994, the German Government formally revised the "Chemical
Prohibition Regulation" to include various congeners of brominated dioxins
and furans. This legislative action, referred to as the "German Dioxin
Ordinance", restricts the allowable concentration (parts per billion level)
of brominated dioxins and furans in products sold in Germany. Brominated
compounds thought to generate these dioxins and furans may be used as flame
retardants in plastic resins and components using plastic resins. The law
will prohibit marketing in Germany any substance, preparation or product
containing more than the specified limits for the brominated dioxins and
furans listed in the ordinance. Products and parts that weigh less than 50
grams are exempt from the limit requirements for some compounds.
