The analytical methods used for the determination of HBCDDs include the determination of stereoisomers and should have a limit of quantification of 0,01 ng/g wet weight or lower; (c) for the class of tetrabromobisphenol A and its derivatives: tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA, CAS No 79-94-7) and possibly TBBPA bismethyl ether (TBBPA-bME, CAS No 70156-79-5); TBBPA bis(2-hydroxyethyl) ether (TBBPA-bOHEE, CAS No 4162-45-2); TBBPA bisallyl ether (TBBPA-bAE, CAS No 25327-89-3); Tetrabromobisphenol A bis(glycidyl ether) (TBBPA-bGE, CAS No 3072-84-2) and TBBPA bis(2,3-dibromopropyl)ether (TBBPA-bDiBPrE, CAS No 21850-44-2) in fish and other seafood, meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, and eggs and egg products. The analytical methods used for the determination of tetrabromobisphenol A and its derivatives should have a limit of quantification of 0,1 ng/g wet weight or lower; (d) for the class of brominated phenols and their derivatives: 2,4,6-tribromophenol (2,4,6-TBP, CAS No 118-79-6); 2,4-dibromophenol (2,4-DBP, CAS No 615-58-7); 4-bromophenol (4-BP, CAS No 106-41-2); 2,6-dibromophenol (2,6-DBP, CAS No 608-33-3); tetrabrominated bisphenol S (TBBPS, CAS No 39635-79-5); tetrabromobisphenol S bismethyl ether (TBBPS-BME, CAS No 70156-79-5) in fish and other seafood. The analytical methods used for the determination of brominated phenols and their derivatives should have a limit of quantification of 0,1 ng/g wet weight or lower; (e) for the emerging and novel brominated flame retardants: tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (TDBPP, CAS No 126-72-7); N,N′-ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide) (EBTEBPI, CAS No 32588-76-4); hexabromocyclodecane (HBCYD, CAS No 25495-98-1); bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (BEH-TEBP, CAS No 26040-51-7); 2-ethylhexyl 2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (EH-TBB, CAS No 183658-27-7) and dibromoneopentyl glycol (DBNPG, CAS No 3296-90-0) in fish and other seafood, meat and meat products (including edible offal), animal and vegetable fats and oils, milk and dairy products, eggs and egg products and food for infants and small children.
