The draft Regulation intends to prohibit the placing on the market of textile articles as defined under point 4 above which can reasonably be expected to be washed in water during their normal lifecycle if the content of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) is equal or greater than 0.01 % by weight (i.e. 100 mg/kg) .

The draft Regulation provides for exemptions from the restriction for second hand textile articles and new textile articles produced exclusively from recycled textiles.

The draft Regulation provides for a transition period of 60 months between the adoption of the restriction and its applicability in order to give sufficient time to producers of textiles articles to adapt their production processes so that they can comply with the restriction.
Environment related objective
To protect the environment, in particular the biodiversity of aquatic species by reducing emissions of NPE (a substance that poses a risk to aquatic species present in surface water)
