Stockholm Convention Secretariat invites submissions/comments on indicative lists for LC‑PFCAs (and related PFAS listings)

The Stockholm Convention Secretariat issued a communication (dated 28 Jan 2026) inviting Parties and other stakeholders to submit new information and comments on the indicative lists of substances covered by the listings of long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), their salts and related compounds (and also referencing indicative lists for other listed PFAS such as PFOA and PFHxS). This is compliance-relevant because indicative lists affect practical scope interpretation (which specific substances/precursors are considered covered), impacting product stewardship, supply-chain substance identification, and import/export controls under national implementations of the Convention listings.
