5. Order establishing the list of substances with endocrine disrupting properties referred to in I and II of Article L. 5232-5 of the Public Health Code and the categories of products presenting a particular risk of exposure referred to in II of Article L. 5232-5 of the Public Health Code
6. Biocidal products, plant protection products, medical devices, materials and objects intended to come into contact with food, toys, cosmetic products, foodstuffs and substances, mixtures and articles as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 1907/2006, with the exception of medicinal products.

8. Law No 2020-105 Against Waste for a Circular Economy of 10 February 2020 (called the AGEC Law) introduced provisions on informing consumers about the presence of dangerous substances in its Article 13, some of which are specific to endocrine disruptors (EDs). Decree of the Council of State No 2021-1110 of 23 August 2021, adopted pursuant to Article 13-II of that Law, lays down detailed rules for the provision of information enabling the identification of endocrine disruptors in a product placed on the market. The Decree provides that, on a proposal from ANSES, a joint order of the ministers responsible for health and the environment shall set:
- the list of substances with proven and presumed endocrine disrupting properties, according to the level of scientific evidence;
- the list of substances with suspected endocrine disrupting properties,
- the categories of products presenting a particular risk of exposure referred to in II of Article L. 5232-5, with regard to the exposed populations, the conditions for use and disposal of those products and other relevant criteria.
The Draft Order takes into account the opinion of the ANSES issued on 25 April 2021. As regards the list of substances with proven and presumed endocrine disrupting properties, the Draft Decree lists substances of very high concern (SVHC) for their endocrine disrupting character under REACH, biocidal and plant protection substances identified as endocrine disruptors within the meaning of European Regulations No 528/2012 and No 1107/2009 on biocidal and plant protection products.
The list of endocrine disrupting substances classified as suspected, as well as the list of product categories with a particular risk of exposure referred to in II of Article L. 5232-5, shall not be reported, in accordance with the opinion of the ANSES of 25 April 2021 which indicates that at this stage there is no suspected endocrine disrupting substance. These two lists are intended to be updated during the evaluation and regulatory work.
9. This provision is in line with the objectives of the Second National Strategy on Endocrine Disruptors (SNPE2) and aims to provide citizens with transparent information on the presence of substances with endocrine disrupting properties in products, in the sense of substances, mixtures, articles and foodstuffs, and to enable citizens to make informed consumer choices.
Endocrine disruptors are present in many everyday objects and have environmental and health impacts (they are involved in many pathologies).
