Description
The Secretariat invited submission of new information and comments on revised/updated indicative lists clarifying which substances are covered by the Stockholm Convention listings for long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), including their salts and related compounds. These indicative lists can materially affect compliance screening and supply-chain declarations by clarifying scope (e.g., related compounds/precursors) for already-listed POPs.
