Objective: To study what is endocrine disruption, endocrine disruptors and to present a regulatory framework related to their identification and investigation. Materials and Methods: Content analysis was conducted using the following regulatory documents: Commission staff working paper 4th Report on the implementation of the "Community Strategy for Endocrine Disrupters" a range of substances suspended from interfering with hormone systems of humans and wildlife (COM (1999) 706), Brussels, 10.8.2011 SEC (2011) 1001 final, European Commission. Results: Endocrine disruption is a mechanism whose effects relate to the functioning of the endocrine system, that is the development, growth, reproduction, and behavior of human beings. An endocrine disruptor is an exogenous substance or mixture of those that alter the function (s) of the endocrine system and accordingly cause adverse effects on the health of the intact organism or its progeny or (sub) populations. The European Commission on Scientific Criteria for the Identification of Endocrine Disruptors and the WHO are the main contributors to the regulation of criteria and the study of endocrine disruptors. In August 2011, the European Commission published a working document on the implementation of the Community Strategy for Endocrine Disruptors - a number of substances suspected of affecting the hormonal system of humans and wildlife SEC (2011) 1001. This is the fourth implementation report of the strategy. Conclusion: Endocrine disruption is a major problem in modern medicine. Because many things and substances from a person's everyday life can have similar activity. In the Republic of Bulgaria, European legislation is applied regarding the identification and testing.
