FAS REACH Annex XV Restriction Report 1ST Public Consultation (22 March - 25 September 2023) Exclusion of fluorinated gases from the PFAS Proposal for a Restriction On January 13, 2023, the competent authorities of five EU countries submitted a PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) restriction proposal to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to include HFC/HFO as well as Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA) products as PFAS substances for management.

The value of fluorinated gas to polyurethane industry We would like to raise the below comments which call for the fluorinated gases that are used in our industry(1) to be fully exempted from the scope of the restriction proposal: In divergence from what the dossier submitters state, those substances are not classified as (very) persistent under REACH (they have atmospheric lifetime of days or months) and more importantly, they do not decompose in the environment into trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in a meaningful fraction (see the EFCTC evidence (2)).
