EU Drinking Water Directive (recast) PFAS parameters: Member State compliance measures due by 12 Jan 2026

ECHA’s legislation profile for the recast EU Drinking Water Directive (Directive (EU) 2020/2184) highlights a transitional milestone for PFAS parameters (including “PFAS Total” and “Sum of PFAS”): by 12 January 2026, EU Member States must take the measures necessary to ensure compliance. This drives downstream monitoring and compliance readiness obligations for drinking water suppliers and competent authorities implementing the directive at national level.
