Challenges in PFAS Management

Addressing the challenge of managing the vast PFAS family, which includes over 10,000 synthetic substances, can be overwhelming. To ease this burden, we have undertaken an extensive process to refine the scope of PFAS substances. Through a meticulous down-selection phase, we narrowed down the scope to the 3,100 PFAS substances that are widely used across industries. This refined scope has been incorporated into the PFAS Declarable Substance List Regulation, which is available in CDX, enabling more efficient data collection from the supply chain.
 

Introducing the PFAS DSL Query List

In response to the need for more detailed due diligence, we have developed the PFAS DSL Query List. This tool enhances our PFAS Declarable Substance List by providing a set of critical questions designed to ensure comprehensive data collection regarding PFAS presence, utilization in production processes, and adherence to established OECD guidelines. The questions are structured to facilitate a thorough assessment of PFAS in your supply chain, allowing for informed decision-making and proactive management of these substances.
 

Your Role in Regulatory Compliance Excellence

By proactively engaging with suppliers and demonstrating a commitment to due diligence practices, you position yourself as a leader in regulatory compliance. This proactive approach will not only facilitate compliance with current regulations but also prepare you for future legislative developments.
