The placing on the market and use of PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS, for example, is regulated in the POP Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/1021), while C9-C14 PFCAs are subject to the provisions of the REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006). In addition, many other PFAS have been added to the SVHC canidate list. In this proficiency testing the migration of selected PFAS into the simulant ethanol 50% should be analysed. Category: chemical-physical testing consumer goods and packaging paper and board Accreditation: This proficiency test is within the scope of the A2LA and the DAkkS accreditation. Is currently underway. Can still be booked. |
