Current status

EU status, SVHC, REACH, and POPs view

Decabromodiphenyl ether is currently surfaced as pops regulation substance in the EU.

The current imported view anchors this substance in POPs and CandidateList. The live rationale focuses on Persistent organic pollutant; PBT (Article 57d); vPvB (Article 57e), and this page is designed for fast status checks before deeper source review.

This page should answer the direct status question quickly, then show the framework rows that support the answer without forcing the user through a spreadsheet-like table first.

What this status page should answer

The regulatory page for DecaBDE needs to answer more than a simple status question because searchers often need POPs context, Candidate List history, and a current source-backed interpretation on the same URL.

chem-data ties this substance to flame-retardant, electronics, plastics, Candidate List, and POPs routes. That makes it a strong page for legacy-portfolio review where list membership and phase-out logic matter together.

Questions this route should settle

  • Does the imported record set show POPs, Candidate List, or both types of framework context?
  • Is this a restriction-style legacy review rather than a simple watchlist lookup?
  • Which source rows should be cited when users ask about BDE-209 specifically?

What to do next

Operational routes from the current status

Article duties

Check Candidate List threshold and SCIP relevance

Use this when the substance may sit in articles, components, or imported goods and you need to confirm communication and SCIP workflows.

 Restriction review

Review concentration limits, exemptions, and phase-out logic

POPs-facing compounds usually need a tighter review of restriction scope and any remaining exemption logic before continued use is assumed.

 Portfolio review

Screen affected product families and formulations

The use profile suggests this substance can appear in materials portfolios where one listing can ripple across multiple SKUs, suppliers, or component bills.

 Source check

Verify the legal source before repeating the claim

Every summary should point back to the underlying authority surface. Use the source route when the exact notice, registry entry, or legal text matters.
