In this way, we create transparency for authorities, business partners, and consumers and strengthen trust in the safety and quality of your products.

New EU Requirements for Bisphenol A and Related Bisphenols

The European Union is significantly tightening the regulation of Bisphenol A (BPA) and related substances. The background is the EFSA’s re-evaluation in 2023, which led to a drastic reduction of the tolerable daily intake.

With Regulation (EU) 2024/3190, the intentional use of BPA and other hazardous bisphenols or bisphenol derivatives in most food contact materials will be banned starting in 2025. This applies to, among others:

  • Plastics
  • Varnishes and coatings
  • Adhesives
  • Printing inks
  • Rubbers
  • Silicones
  • Ion-exchange resins

The packaging industry is under particular pressure, since BPA is widely used in epoxy resins, for example as an inner coating of food cans.

For manufacturers and distributors this means: act now and have your products tested to ensure compliance with the upcoming regulation.
