REACH: Universal PFAS Restriction Proposal

In March 2023, national authorities submitted a proposal to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) for a universal restriction on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) under REACH. This broad restriction aims to ban the manufacture, import, and use of over 10,000 PFAS substances across the EU, with significant implications for various industries, including construction chemicals. The proposal is currently undergoing public consultation and evaluation.
