ams OSRAM Statement on Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Several national authorities of the European Union have submitted a proposal to the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) in January 2023 to restrict all Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under REACH. Certain members of this large group of PFASs chemicals are already subject to EU legislation. Legislation regarding PFAS is also in force or is under preparation in other countries and regions outside the EU. The upcoming legislation regarding PFASs could have a huge impact on the electrical and electronic industry.
