Manythanks in advance for considering our request. Best wishes, Irene From: ROBIN Nicolas Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 9:05 AM To: Jenny Ivarsson < @kemi.se> Subject: PFAS REACH proposed restriction - Fluoropolymers Product Group RMOA study Dear Mrs. Ivarsson, The Fluoropolymers Product Group (FPG) has commissioned the consulting firm ChemService to perform an independent Regulatory Management Option Analysis (RMOA)for Fluoropolymers. You can find the full study attached. Chemservice's RMOA has concluded thatthe best regulatory option to deal with concerns about fluoropolymers (FPs)will not be a full restriction but a combination of the following measures: A derogation of FPs and relevant monomers from the PFAS REACH restriction, supplemented by a Voluntary Industry Initiative which guarantees that industry will address the situations of concern related to manufacture and use of FPs an update of existing EU regulations on waste that would impactthe end -of-life treatment of FP products, ensuring adequate technical controls are put in place to minimize to the furthest possible extent any risk derived from the disposal of FP products and from articles containing FPs The study has also confirmed thatthere are no alternatives that can replace the high performance provided by fluoropolymers in "virtually every critical application in which they are used". I will be pleased to have a meeting with you to answerto any questions you might have about this report and present our next publication on the phase use of our products. Do not hesitate to contact me.
