ECHA launches 60-day consultation on SEAC draft opinion for EU-wide PFAS REACH restriction (universal PFAS proposal)

ECHA materials for the EU-wide ("universal") PFAS restriction under REACH indicate that consultation on SEAC’s draft opinion opened on 26 March 2026 and runs for 60 calendar days. This is a key milestone in the restriction process and a near-term action point for companies and associations to submit technical and socio-economic information (uses, alternatives, costs, emissions) relevant to potential restriction conditions and transition periods across affected sectors.
