Description
ECHA reported publication of an updated universal PFAS restriction proposal under the EU REACH restriction process, reflecting assessment of more than 5,600 stakeholder comments received during the 2023 consultation and updates by dossier submitters (Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden). Compliance teams tracking the EU-wide PFAS restriction should review the updated dossier for changes to scope, proposed derogations, and possible transition periods affecting products and uses in the EU/EEA. (This is a process/dossier update; not itself a final restriction.)
