Description
ECHA’s weekly news update reports that an updated proposal to restrict PFAS under REACH was published, reflecting updates by the dossier submitters after evaluating feedback from the 2023 public consultation (reported as 5,600+ comments). This is a key process milestone for companies tracking the EU-wide PFAS restriction workstream because it indicates the restriction dossier was revised and re-published, which can affect scoped uses, derogations, and compliance planning assumptions even before any restriction is adopted.
