Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The hexabromocyclododecane entry's point 1 concentration limit changed from a single threshold of 100 mg/kg (0,01% by weight) reviewed by 22 March 2019, to a general threshold of 75 mg/kg (0,0075% by weight), with a separate 100 mg/kg (0,01% by weight) threshold specifically for recycled polystyrene used in EPS and XPS insulation material in buildings or civil engineering works, and a review date of 1 January 2026.
A new substance entry for Methoxychlor, including its definition and a specific concentration limit of 0,01 mg/kg (0,000001% by weight) in substances, mixtures or articles, has been added to Part A after the PFHxS entry.
