Description
Supply of Use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer uses of Textiles, Upholstery, Leather Apparel and Carpets (TULAC) Following the publication of the UK REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals) Regulatory Management Options Analysis (RMOA) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) (HSE, 2023), we are considering whether to propose restrictions on the use of certain PFAS-containing products. To help guide this decision, it would be useful to have more knowledge about PFAS exposure specific to GB. Among the consumer product categories in GB, Textiles, Upholstery, Leather, Apparel, and Carpets (TULAC) has one of the highest estimated potential emissions as well as the possibility of direct human exposure. We are looking for a laboratory to analyse approximately 50 TULAC samples for PFAS concentrations using an appropriate method. Due to uncertainty over the range of PFAS that may be present, a total PFAS analysis such as the Total Oxidisable Precursor (TOP) assay or Total Hydrolysable Precursor (THP) assay should be used with characterisation of the extract. We will also consider alternative PFAS extraction / analysis methods that the laboratory considers suitable or beneficial for the matrices being tested. We anticipate that TULAC samples would be sent to the laboratory in December 2024, with analysis to be complete by the end of February 2025. The objective is to generate information on PFAS concentrations in a variety of pertinent product categories available on the GB market, particularly those that haven't been thoroughly examined before.
