Globally, PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS have been included in the Stockholm Convention and under the EU's Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulation: PFOS - https://echa.europa.eu/list-of-substances-subject-to-pops-regulation//dislist/details/0b0236e184a3135d PFOA - https://echa.europa.eu/list-of-substances-subject-to-pops-regulation//dislist/details/0b0236e1849a8bdf PFHxS: Delegated regulation - C(2023)3387 and Annex - C(2023)3387 available from https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13425-Persistentorganic-pollutants-perfluorohexane-sulfonic-acid-PFHxS-_en Currently, a number of PFAS are on the REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHC): Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table//dislist/details/0b0236e1807db2ba PFHxS - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table/-/dislist/details/0b0236e18184a0e1 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propionic acid, its salts and its acyl halides (HFPO-DA) - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table//dislist/details/0b0236e1833efc3e perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) and its salts - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-listtable/-/dislist/details/0b0236e187e718eb Some PFAS are also restricted under REACH: C9-C14 linear and/or branched perfluorocarboxylic acids (C9-C14 PFCAs) https://echa.europa.eu/substances-restricted-under-reach//dislist/details/0b0236e181e91f73 Additionally, there are restrictions proposals: Restricting the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in fire-fighting foams - https://echa.europa.eu/registry-of-restriction-intentions//dislist/details/0b0236e1856e8ce6 Broad restriction proposal of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) https://echa.europa.eu/registry-of-restriction-intentions/-/dislist/details/0b0236e18663449b To stay up to date with the latest developments, you can consult ECHA's dedicated page on PFAS at https://echa.europa.eu/hot-topics/perfluoroalkyl-chemicals-pfas For a general introduction to the restriction process, please check the infographic on ECHA's website at https://echa.europa.eu/restriction-process. If the restriction proposals are successfully adopted into law, they will be included as entries in the Annex XVII to REACH. Once a restriction is adopted, it is industry's responsibility to comply with restriction conditions. Compliance with the restriction is enforced by the Member States and demonstrating compliance may require testing.
