146:(REACH) legislation, limiting NPE use in industrial and institutional cleaning, domestic cleaning, cosmetics and other applications including spermicides and in use as co-formulants in pesticides (except for pesticides where prior authorization was granted before July 17, 2003 in which effects of the restriction will not occur until date of their expiration) amounts equal to or exceeding 0.1% by weight, and limiting NPE residues on textile articles to 0.01% by weight, effective February 3, 2021. Previously, the use of NPE was forbidden within the EU, but there was no limit on the level of NPE residue on imported articles. 198:
