BAT/BEP expert meeting work programme includes planned updates to guidance to reflect newly listed POPs (MCCPs, LC‑PFCAs, UV‑328 exemptions; possible chlorpyrifos guidance)

An official Stockholm Convention BAT/BEP meeting page indicates an implementation work programme to update Best Available Techniques/Best Environmental Practices guidance to reflect recent Stockholm Convention outcomes: incorporating MCCPs into SCCPs-related guidance, including LC‑PFCAs in PFOS/PFOA-relevant guidance, updating UV‑328 BAT/BEP guidance reflecting COP-12 exemption amendments, and considering in June 2026 whether to develop BAT/BEP guidance for chlorpyrifos. For compliance teams, these updates can affect operational expectations for controlling releases and managing wastes/industrial processes linked to newly listed POPs and exemptions.
