Assogomma update for the PFAS issue
On 20 November 2024, ECHA and the competent authorities of Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden provided an update on the evaluation of the PFAS restriction dossier, incorporating feedback from over 5,600 technical and scientific comments submitted during the public consultation. The statement highlights previously unconsidered PFAS applications, such as pipe linings, and acknowledges the critical role of fluoropolymers. ECHA confirms that these materials will receive special consideration in the decision-making process. This marks a constructive step forward, reflecting the technical-scientific arguments consistently advocated by Assogomma.
