Reported risk: Plastmaterialet i kabeln har för höga halter av bis(2-etylhexyl)ftalat (DEHP) och kortkedjiga klorparaffiner (SCCP) (uppmätta värden: upp till 1,2 % respektive 1,3 viktprocent). DEHP utgör en risk för människors hälsa och miljön. SCCP är svårnedbrytbara, giftiga för vattenlevande organismer vid låga koncentrationer och bioackumuleras i vilda djur och människor, vilket utgör en risk för människors hälsa och miljön. Långvarig exponering genom huden kan orsaka cancer. Produkten uppfyller inte kraven i direktivet om begränsning av användning av vissa farliga ämnen i elektrisk och elektronisk utrustning (RoHS-direktivet) eller i Reach-förordningen.

Product Name (original English): Outdoor headlight

Risk Description (original English): The plastic material of the cable has excessive concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured values: up to 1.2 % and 1.3 % by weight, respectively). DEHP poses a risk to human health and the environment. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure to them through the skin may cause cancer.
