IPC Issues Industry Alert Regarding U.S. EPA Prohibition of PIP (3:1) in Electronics
IPC alerted members about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final risk management rules to reduce exposure to five persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals (PBTs). The alert calls attention to the rules, which went into effect February 5, 2021, and to one of the five PBTs with a history of use in electronics: phenol, isopropylated, phosphate (3:1) (known as PIP (3:1)).
The final rule for PIP (3:1) prohibits the processing and distribution of this chemical substance and products containing this chemical substance as of March 8, 2021. There are some exceptions to the prohibition, for example, for new and replacement parts for automotive and aerospace industries, however, there are no electronics industry exceptions.
