Testing data on location and types of intentionally added PFAS in electronics and medical devices

OTTAWA, ON, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - On 5 April 2023, Claigan Environmental Inc. (www.claigan.com) will present laboratory data on presence and use of PFAS in electronics and medical devices. In response to emerging PFAS legislation, Claigan has been regularly testing products for PFAS. In 2023, over 90% of products, and nearly 100% of all electronics tested contained intentionally added PFAS.

With the new PFAS reporting and restriction requirements, it has become very clear to industry that testing (of at least representative products) is necessary to meet a company's compliance requirements. With most PFAS use being undeclared by suppliers, and the seriousness of regulation - most companies have turned to high efficiency PFAS testing at Claigan. In particular, unless a company's PFAS uses are submitted into the EU REACH Restriction consultation, most companies will be facing the re-design all of their products over the next three years.

Claigan's webinar will focus on the types and prevalences of PFAS in products - with a specific focus on electronics and medical devices. In each situation of PFAS use, Claigan will explain the use, rarity (or lack there of), and expected restriction timeline.

The main topics to be covered in this webinar are -

• Overview of PFAS testing data
• Testing for PFAS presence
• Most common intentionally added PFASs
• Explanation of each identified intentionally added PFAS use
• Potential for restriction for each use
• Importance of EU REACH Restriction consultation

Due to the interest in these topics, two (2) webinars will be held on April 5 to accommodate a larger audience.
