    In a recent ruling, the European Court of Justice confirmed that BPA must be classified as a substance of high concern. The Luxembourg judge dismissed the complaint of the Plastics Europe Plastics Association.
    court found in its decision that substances used on site or as an isolated intermediate for transport would not automatically exempt all provisions of the REACH statute

    . Therefore, these substances, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), are not exempt from labeling requirements. As the Court explained in its explanatory memorandum, the statute does not preclude the possibility that a substance may be classified as of high concern, although it is used only as an isolated intermediate.
    explanatory memorandum
    , the Court noted that "one of the objectives is to exchange information on substances of high concern between the supply chain and consumers".
    complaints are caused by the plastics industry, BPA is a raw material for the coatings industry due to its importance to cyclooxides. Among products such as baby bottles, BPA has been banned throughout Europe since 2011. The substance is thought to be a hormone contaminant with similar effects to estrogen.
