Canada – new uses rule trixylyl phosphate
SNAc (Significant New Activity) order for trixylyl phosphate, requiring information and assessment of new uses. Canada concluded in 2020 that trixylyl phosphate (an aryl phosphate PIN FR*) did not meet the CEPA section 64 criteria (not harmful to health or the environment, Canadian Environment Protection Act), see pinfa Newsletter n°122. However, Canada considers that the substance “is recognized as having potential human health effects of concern. The SNAc Order means that any new uses must be declared 90 days before starting, with information to assess possible risks to human health and the environment. New uses include manufacture or import of products containing > 0.1% w/w trixylyl phosphate. In Europe, trixylyl phosphate is already largely phased out with only a few very restricted uses authorised for a limited further time.
Trixylyl phosphate = phenol, dimethyl-, phosphate (3:1)
