ECHA Single Programming Document signals aim to finalise EU-wide PFAS restriction opinion-making in 2026

ECHA’s Single Programming Document 2026–2028 states that ECHA aims to finalise the opinion-making process on the proposed broad EU-wide PFAS restriction in 2026. This is not a binding restriction or a legal change by itself, but it is an authoritative planning/timeline signal that compliance teams can use to anticipate key milestones in the REACH restriction process and plan stakeholder engagement and internal readiness activities.
