ECHA RAC/SEAC June 2025 meetings: provisional conclusions in additional sectors for EU-wide PFAS restriction proposal

ECHA reported progress in the scientific evaluation of the proposed EU-wide REACH restriction on PFAS. According to the June 2025 RAC/SEAC meeting highlights, the committees reached provisional conclusions for certain use sectors (including medical devices; RAC also for lubricants; SEAC also for transport). This is a procedural/scientific milestone (not adoption of a restriction), but it is relevant for compliance planning because it signals advancing committee opinions and potential upcoming consultations and sector-specific restriction conditions.
