BRS Secretariat announces COP-12 (2025) closure and summarizes new Stockholm Convention POP listings (chlorpyrifos, MCCPs, LC‑PFCAs) plus UV‑328 time-bound exemptions

The BRS Secretariat press release closing the 2025 COP meetings (including Stockholm Convention COP-12) summarizes that Parties agreed to list chlorpyrifos, medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs) for elimination under the Stockholm Convention, and notes time-bound exemptions for UV‑328 (as referenced in the COP-12 outcomes summary). Compliance teams should treat this as confirmation of global treaty-level listing decisions that drive national implementation measures (bans/restrictions and exemptions) and supply-chain impacts for products/mixtures/articles containing these chemicals.
