Few product risks, but oil and plant emission rules
What this tab covers How it is regulated and what could disrupt supply: hazard classification, rules in the EU, US and India, anti-dumping duties and other trade measures, and supply-risk notes.
Hazards
Classification
UN number
Key risks
not classified; residual ENB and hexane controlled
not regulated
Plant risks from flammable monomers and solvent; few product risks.
Main rules
Where
Rule
Effect
EU
REACH; PAH limits for extender oils; End-of-life Vehicles rules
Grades use paraffinic oils; recycled content debate
EU
Construction Products Regulation for roofing membranes
Performance declarations
US
EPA NESHAP for polymers and resins
Emission controls at plants
India
Rule
Effect
No EPDM-specific rule found; general BIS standards for automotive rubber parts
Imports flow freely
MSIHC Rules 1989 (for monomers)
Not relevant until India builds a plant
Trade measures
No major EPDM trade remedy found in sources reached
Supply risk
Moderate. Few producers and ENB supply is concentrated. India depends fully on imports.
