    With the research results and adverse events of BPA exposure, many countries have conducted the risk assessment and established legal limits of it. The European Union, the United States, China and other countries have prohibited the use of BPA in children's products which are belong to food contact materials.

    2. In March 2016, EU notified WTO of Circular G/TBT/N/EU/370 to publish a draft Commission Regulation proposing to amend (EU) No 10/2011 for plastic food contact materials. The amendment targets at regulating the use of bisphenol A.

    3. In Feb 2016, the French REACH competent authority plans to submit a proposal to ECHA by 8 August that bisphenol A should be classified as an SVHC.
