General Comments for Annex XV restriction report on Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 22 May 2023 We welcome the opportunity to contribute to the public consultation initiated by the European Chemicals Agency regarding potential restriction of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 ("REACH").

Apr 25, 2023 Comment on Proposed Restriction of PFAS Conference of Fluoro-Chemical Product Japan (FCJ) On behalf of chemical manufacturers, we, Conference of Fluoro-Chemical Product Japan (FCJ), have been working tirelessly to comply with national chemical regulations.

CHEMICAL SAFETY REPORT PROVIDED AS COMMENTS TO THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE REACH RESTRICTION PROPOSAL ON PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) Submitted by: 1 Date: June 29, 2023 Substance: Polyvinylidene fluoride CAS No.: 24937-79-9 EC No.: 607-458-6 Industrial PVDF-based ultrafiltration membranes required to be installed into (a) new water or wastewater treatment plants designed after EiF (including extensions of/changes to existing plants) subject to special conditions (low spatial requirements) for high quality purification of industrial and urban wastewater, process water and drinking water and (b) existing water or wastewater treatment plants ensuring possibility for maintenance and replacement during the operational life of the plant, both (a) and (b) until at least 15.5 years after EiF. 1 Countries of sales and service: No copying / Use allowed -
