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").

Comment on Proposed Restriction of PFAS May 30, 2023 Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA) We, Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA), think that fluoropolymers should be distinguished from the proposed restriction of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which collectively regulates more than 10,000 of organofluorine compounds (PFAS) on the grouping basis.

Comment on Proposed Restriction of PFAS Jul 31, 2023 Japan Valve Manufacturers' Association (JVMA) Japan Valve Manufacturers Association (JVMA) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments to the PFAS restriction proposal. 1.
