26 March 2026, ECHA is inviting stakeholders to provide information on the draft opinion of its Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) on the proposed restriction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The consultation launches on 26 March and is open until 25 May 2026.

Relevant information submitted through the consultation will be assessed to confirm or modify the Committee’s conclusions as presented in the draft opinion. The Committee is expected to adopt its final opinion by the end of 2026. This adoption will conclude ECHA’s Committees’ scientific evaluation of the proposed restriction and the opinions will be formally submitted to the European Commission.

Based on the final opinions, the Commission will propose a restriction for discussion and vote in the REACH Committee, composed of EU Member States.
