for PFAS reporting

Addressing the PFAS Challenge Worldwide: A ComplyMarket Guide to PFAS Compliance

In an ever-changing regulatory environment, the reporting and restriction of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) has become a focal point for environmental compliance worldwide. With the European Union and various states in the United States, including Maine and Minnesota. With the recent finalization of TSCA Section 8(a)(7) adding another layer of complexity. This regulation mandates extensive reporting and registration of PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act.   By introducing stringent measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer items, companies are scrambling to align with these complex mandates.

Understanding PFAS and their implications

PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals used for their durability and resistance to water, stains, and temperature. They have been used in numerous industries for applications ranging from non-stick cookware to firefighting foams. However, the stability that makes PFAS valuable also makes them persistent in the environment, posing potential risks to human and ecological health.

The Regulatory Answer

In the European Union and the United States, regulations are catching up. EU restrictions and Section 8(a)(7) of the US TSCA will impose reporting requirements for approximately 12,000 PFAS substances. For example, Maine law will ban the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving toward banning non-essential uses of PFAS by 2032.
