Description
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat published an updated consolidated version of the Convention text and annexes ("revised in 2025") reflecting COP-12 amendments. The consolidated text incorporates COP-12 decisions to add chlorpyrifos, medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), their salts and related compounds to Annex A (elimination) and to amend the Annex A listing for UV‑328 (specific exemption adjustments). For compliance teams, this consolidated treaty text is an authoritative reference for current Annex scope, supporting screening of products/materials and assessing whether any specific exemptions may apply in relevant jurisdictions implementing the Convention.
