Plastic containing
Brominated flame
retardants other than in
PCB / PCA
This product may contain plastic parts greater than 25 grams. Many of these
parts are bromine free. Regardless, these parts are labeled (usually molded
directly into the plastic) per ISO 11469:2000(E).
A typical label would look like:
> Polymer Abbreviation - FR(#) <
i.e. > PC + ABS FR(40) <
Flame retardant codes (FR(#)) are given in ISO 1043-4. Codes for some
Brominated flame retardants:
14 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds
15 aliphatic/alicyclic Brominated compounds in combination with antimony
compounds
16 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls)
17 aromatic Brominated compounds (excluding Brominated diphenyl ether
and biphenyls) in combination with antimony compounds
22 aliphatic/alicyclic chlorinated and Brominated compounds
42 Brominated organic phosphorus compounds
