EU REACH new regulations are coming, and the use of PFHxA substances will be restricted

2025-07-08

Release time：2024-09-30

On September 20, 2024, the European Union published in its Official Journal the Restrictions of REACH Regulation (Annex 17), amending Regulation (EU) 2024/2462, adding a new Article 79 on the control of perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), its salts, and related substances. The regulation will automatically become mandatory in member states 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU. It is binding in its entirety and directly applicable to all member states. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has compiled a non-exhaustive list of PFHxA, its salts, and related substances. CTI Testing has launched a 10,000-item PFAS screening service that covers the substances on the list, helping companies address the new regulatory requirements.

Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) and its salts and related substances:
(a) Compounds having a linear or branched C₅F₁₁-type perfluoropentyl group attached to a carbon atom; or
(b) Compounds having a linear or branched C₆F₁₃-perfluorohexyl group.
The following substances are not included:
(a) C₆F₁₄;
(b) C₆F₁₃-C(=O)OH, C₆F₁₃-C(=O)O-X′ or C₆F₁₃-CF₂-X′ (where X′ = any group, including salts);
(c) any substance containing a C₆F₁₃-perfluoroalkyl group directly attached to an oxygen atom on a non-terminal carbon atom.
