Norway issues decree of decabromodiphenyl ether

On January 17, 2008, the Norwegian government announced that its unilateral ban on the use of decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) will enter into force on April 1, 2008. Taking into account the environmental and health impacts of the use of decabromodiphenyl ether, the ban covers all areas of application of Deca-BDE except transport. At present, the European brominated flame retardant industry committee (EBFRIP) is calling on the European Union and the World Trade Organization (WTO) to take urgent measures to prevent this unilateral action by Norway.
The EU has conducted in-depth and extensive scientific research on the environmental and health effects of decabromodiphenyl ether. In October 2005, the European Commission determined that decabromodiphenyl ether was not harmful to the environment and human health after it had been subjected to a total of 588 risk studies and assessments for 10 years. List of exemptions for the RoHS Directive. However, the Norwegian government has not passed the European Economic Area agreement EU chemical legislation agreement, following the relevant report submitted by the government in 2005 by the European Commission, the WTO and the company strongly opposed the suppression, once again announced that the implementation of the ban.
"Companies strongly oppose Norway's unilateral ban and call on the European Commission, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the WTO to take urgent measures to stop it," said Veronique Steukers, chairman of EBFRIP.
China has become a major producer of brominated flame retardants. In 2006, the production of brominated flame retardants was nearly 200,000 tons. Among them, the production of tetrabromobisphenol A was about 100,000 tons; the production capacity of decabromodiphenyl ether had reached 50,000 tons. a. In 2006, the production volume was about 40,000 tons, and the total output value of the industry exceeded 500 million yuan. On March 1, 2007, China officially promulgated the "Measures for the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" (also known as China RoHS); on March 1, 2007, the mandatory national standard GB20286-2006 "Combustion of flame-retardant products and components for public places Performance requirements and logos were formally implemented; on May 1, 2007, China's "flame-retardant product labeling management measures" came into effect. The strict requirements of the State for flame retardant products in public places will greatly promote the development of the flame retardant industry and greatly increase the output and product quality of the flame retardant industry in China.
At present, the Chinese business community has also given great attention to the prospects for the application of brominated flame retardants, and has explored policy trends and alternative information for new products. However, compared with international producers, the awareness of domestic companies in responding to national environmental protection policies and regulations is still very weak. In this regard, the international practice of major multinational fire-retardant companies is worthy of our reference. Not only did they “browse the wind” at the beginning of the environmental directive, they also joined forces to actively discuss and formulate policies with government agencies. In addition, taking into account the long-term sustainable development strategy, enterprises should also strengthen the technical progress and research and development of brominated flame retardants, enhance the scientific and technological content and added value of products, and develop new environmental protection flame retardants that meet product requirements. The core driving force for sustainable development.
