PFAS - Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances - Declaration
PFAS - Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of fluorocarbons. They're known as "forever chemicals" because they do not easily break down in the human body or in the environment.
More and more jurisdictions are restricting PFAS use and/or requiring reporting on PFAS usage. To understand if you're in scope of emerging regulations, you need deep visibility into the composition of your products. Moreover, some existing regulations that you're already in scope of will be updated to limit PFAS usage even further, particularly the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation.
