Ethylenediamine (EDA, CAS 107-15-3) is a chemical compound widely used as an intermediate in many industrial processes, such as chemical synthesis, resin manufacturing, chelating agents, and additives for lubricating oils. However, due to its hazardous properties, in particular its classification as a respiratory and skin sensitiser, EDA has been identified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC).

In recent years, few regulatory topics have attracted as much attention as endocrine disruptors, chemicals capable of interfering with hormone systems in humans and wildlife. Their potential effects on development, reproduction, and environmental health have prompted increasingly rigorous scrutiny across the globe.

Ensure your cosmetic products are safe and compliant in the EU with a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR). Learn what it includes, who prepares it, and why it’s legally required under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

La Directive (UE) 2020/2184 établit un cadre harmonisé destiné à garantir la sécurité des matériaux et des produits entrant en contact avec l’eau destinée à la consommation humaine. Pour atteindre cet objectif, elle introduit un dispositif central : les Listes Positives Européennes (EUropean Positive Lists, EUPL).

The REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemical substances. Among its four main pillars, Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction, the Authorisation process is often the most complex for non-specialists to understand. Yet it plays a critical role in managing the most hazardous substances on the European market.
