On 7 August 2026, the European Commission proposed to amend Annex II to the EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC (TSD) as regards lilial, bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and benzisothiazolinone (BIT).
The highlights are as follows:
- The allergenic fragrance lilial (CAS No. 80-54-6) (2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde) has been moved from the list of allergenic fragrances that require labelling to the list of banned allergenic fragrances.
- The migration limit of bisphenol A (BPA) (CAS No. 80-05-7) is reduced from 0.04 mg/L to 0.005 mg/L.
- The test methods EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005 are removed for bisphenol A (BPA), phenol (CAS No. 108-95-2) and 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT) (CAS No. 2634-33-5), since EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005 no longer represent the state of the art.
The proposed amendment is scheduled to apply 12 months after date of publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
