PFAS reporting solution

Meeting the Global PFAS Challenge: A ComplyMarket Guide to PFAS Compliance

In an ever-changing regulatory environment, the declaration and restriction of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) has become a focal point for environmental compliance worldwide. With the European Union and various U.S. states, including Maine and Minnesota. The recent refinement of Section 8(a)(7) of TSCA adds another layer of complexity. These regulations require detailed reporting and record keeping for PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act.   By putting in place strict measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer items, Companies are struggling to align with these complex mandates.

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

The regulatory response

In the European Union and the United States, regulations are catching up with science. The expected EU restrictions and Section 8(a)(7) of the U.S. TSCA impose reporting obligations for approximately 12000 PFAS substances. For example, Maine's law will ban the sale of products containing intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving toward banning non-essential uses of PFAS by 2032.
