>Addressing PFAS Challenges Worldwide: ComplyMarket's 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 US, including Maine and Minnesota, recently enacting Section 8(a)(7) of the TSCA which adds another layer of complexity. This regulation mandates extensive reporting and record-keeping for PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act. By imposing strict measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer goods, businesses are trying to adapt to this complex mandate.
Understanding PFAS and Their Effects
PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals that are used because of their resistance and resistance to water, stains, and temperature. They have been used in a variety of industries from non-stick cookware to firefighting foam. However, the stability that makes PFAS valuable also makes them remain in the environment, with potential risks to human health and ecology.
Regulatory
Response
In the EU and the US, regulation is catching up with science. The sanctions anticipated by the EU and Section 8(a)(7) of the US TSCA are expected to impose reporting obligations for about 12,000 PFAS substances. For example, Maine law would prohibit the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving toward banning the non-essential use of PFAS by 2032.
