# EPDM: Regulation

Few product risks, but oil and plant emission rules

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/epdm/regulation/

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.
