PoHS stands for Prohibition on Certain Hazardous Substances in Consumer Products. On 8 June 2007 Norway notified the WTO of a requirement to prohibit certain hazardous chemicals in consumer products, stating that it would restrict 18 substances in consumer products, known as the PoHS regulation.
The 18 restricted substances are: hexabromocyclododecane, tetrabromobisphenol A, medium-chained chlorinated paraffins, lead and lead compounds, cadmium and compounds, arsenic and compounds, tributyltin compounds, triphenyltin compounds, musk xylene, musk ketone, perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts and esters, the surfactants DTDMAC, DODMAC/DSDMAC and DHTDMAC, bisphenol A, diisooctyl phthalate, pentachlorophenol and triclosan. The substances proposed for restriction are persistent, bioaccumulative and/or toxic. The PoHS regulation was adopted on 15 December 2007 and was originally scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2008, but was postponed because consensus had not been reached on many issues.
