Description
ECHA posted an official notice indicating it would launch a consultation on the draft SEAC (Socio-Economic Analysis Committee) opinion for the proposed EU-wide PFAS restriction under REACH. This is a key milestone in the restriction process: companies affected by potential PFAS restrictions should monitor the consultation window and prepare technical and socio-economic input to support derogation requests, transition periods, or alternative-risk-management arguments.
