ECHA’s PFAS hot-topics page indicates that undecafluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), its salts and related substances are subject to REACH restrictions starting in April 2026 (referenced as an already adopted restriction with a future start date). Compliance teams supplying or using PFHxA-related substances in the EU/EEA should confirm applicability, assess product/mixture impacts, and plan substitution or supply-chain controls ahead of the April 2026 restriction start date; however, the specific day in April is not provided in the extracted research text.
