In 2025, CEHTRA continued its mission to support industrial companies, institutions and regulated stakeholders in a context marked by increasing regulatory complexity and growing challenges related to the protection of human health and the environment.

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.
