The implementation of the change in criterion 5 hormone disrupting substances that was announced on 2018-12-17 now comes into force. However, a transition period will be applied until 2020-07-01, in order to allow adaptation to the changed criterion. The amendment means that BASTA is now basing the assessment of endocrine disruptors on the definition of endocrine disruptors that is applied in EU chemicals legislation. This means that substances should be considered to have endocrine disrupting properties if they meet all of the following criteria:

The implementation of the change in criterion 17, Environmentally Hazardous, that was announced 2019-07-01 and which would come into force on 2020-01-01, has been postponed.  BASTA awaits the review by Swedish Chemicals Agency  in 2020 of the risk reduction properties and definitions, which include environmentally hazardous. Depending on the result of the review, the previously announced change may be adjusted. Therefore the current criteria 17 continues to apply.

BASTA amends the criterion for environmentally hazardous substances from 2020-01-01 that will also include substances that meet the criteria for the hazard class,” Very toxic to aquatic life, Category chronic 3 (H412)” according to CLP.
