Stockholm Convention Secretariat requests information/comments on indicative lists for LC‑PFCAs, PFOA and PFHxS listings

The Stockholm Convention Secretariat issued an invitation to submit new information and comments on indicative lists clarifying substances covered by existing Stockholm Convention PFAS-related listings: long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), their salts and related compounds; perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds; and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds. This process supports interpretation of listing scope and can affect compliance screening, product stewardship, and reporting against covered ‘related compounds’.
