| Phtalate | CAS no |
| Diethyl hexyl phthalat (DEHP) | 117-81-7* |
| Dibuthyl phthalat (DBP/DnBP) | 84-74-2* |
| Butyl bensyl phthalat (BBP) | 85-68-7* |
| Dicyclo hexyl phthalat (DCHP) | 84-61-7 |
| Diiso buthyl phthalat (DIBP) | 84-69-5* |

| Bis (2-methoxyethyl) phthalate | 117-82-8 |
| Diiso penthyl phthalate | 605-50-5 |
| N-penthyl-isopenthyl phthalate | 776297-69-9 |
*DEHP, DBP, BBP and DIBP are limited to 0,1% according to the RoHs-directive from July 22, 2019.
Verification
The supplier shall, upon request, be able to present a verification, for example one of the following:
- Technical documentation, for example declarations from the cable manufacturers or tests according to IEC 62321-8:2017, EPA 8270D or similar. The results need to be within the allowed limitation values, which is below 0,1 percent by weight.
- Ecolabelling according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for Imaging equipment, version 6 or later.
Proposed follow-up
- Request the supplier's routines for working with risk assessment for chosen products.
- Request technical documentation, for example declaration from the cable manufacturer, material declaration or tests according to IEC 62321–8:2017, EPA 8270D, or similar. The results must be within the allowed limitation values.
- Check for a valid ecolabelling licence according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for office appliances version 6 or later.
