On 9 March 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the decision to extend the compliance date for prohibiting the processing and distribution of Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1) [PIP (3:1)] in the US.

 

This applies to PIP (3:1)-containing articles and the PIP (3:1) used in making those articles. The new extension date for compliance is October 31, 2024. This means that affected businesses, manufacturers, and importers have from now till October 2024 to stop using PIP (3.1) and also to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for manufacturers, processors, and distributors.


This is the final rule which will be formally effective from March 22, 2022. The rule affects you if you are a manufacturer, importer, processor, distributor, or user of PIP (3:1) or PIP (3:1)-containing articles.
