Commission Regulation (EC) 1907/2006(formerly EU Directive 2005/69/EC)

„The ban of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons“

starting 01.01.2010

Similar regulations in Japan and other countries

This regulation affects more and more the productionof technical rubber goods because more and moreauto manufacturers require also „cancer free TRG“.
