Washington considers reporting requirements for TDCPP


29 July 2013

Washington State's Department of Ecology is considering an amendment to its Children's Safe Products - Reporting Rule.

The proposed amendment would add tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) to the reporting list of chemicals. The Washington Department of Health has also confirmed that TDCPP meets the toxicity and exposure criteria to be included on the Chemicals of High Concern to Children (CHCC) list.

Additionally, the proposed amendment would remove n-butanol from the reporting list of chemicals.

The proposed amendment will be published in the Washington State Register on 7 August 2013. Following the publication, Ecology will hold a public hearing on 27 August 2013, at 6 PM, to consider comments on this proposed amendment.

Ecology expects to adopt the proposed amendment on/ around 16 October 2013, with the first TDCPP reports due on 28 February 2015.
