Restriction on the placing on the market and use after use/sector-specific transitional periods,
with a derogation mechanism via a permit system to which only Seveso establishments and
defence sites would be eligible
5
Restriction on the placing on the market and use for all uses after sector or use-
specific transitional periods, unless adequate risk management measures are in place to
minimise the emissions to the environment
All the risk management options above include transitional periods adapted to the different sectors of use or type of use, supplemented with the requirement to implement risk management measures minimising the emissions of PFAS in the environment.
The preferred RMO is RMO3 (i.e. ban on manufacture, export and use) with the following transitional periods:
Training and testing: 18 months Municipal fire services: 18 months Civil ships: 3 years Seveso establishments: 10 years All other uses (e.g. civil aviation, defence, fire extinguishers, etc.): 5 years
In addition, from 6 months after entry into force: additional RMMs, including the mandatory collection of PFAS waste (firewater runoff, contaminated equipment cleaning water, expired foam concentrates, etc.) to the extent technically and economically feasible and disposal in hazardous waste incinerators, cement kilns or disposed of using [other treatment techniques reducing the concentration of PFAS close to zero].
PFAS concentration threshold: 1000ppb (1mg/L).
