Description
ECHA’s official Registry of restriction intentions until outcome shows the EU-wide PFAS REACH restriction entry in 'Opinion development' status, with the registry reflecting a latest update date of 16-Apr-2026. This is not an adopted restriction, but it is an authoritative process/status signal that the dossier has progressed into the committee opinion-development phase and is useful for compliance teams monitoring expected timelines and upcoming milestones under the proposed universal PFAS restriction.
