IDA PFAS SURVEY

The IDA is conducting a survey to provide ECHA information on the current use of PVDF-based membranes (MF/UF) in water treatment systems. The survey pertains to water treatment systems in the European Community: EU countries.

The IDA strongly encourages end-users/ operators to complete the survey to support ECHA decision-making.

ECHA (European Chemicals Agency, an agency of the EU that implements the regulation of chemicals to protect health and the environment) is currently soliciting public consultation on the restriction of around 10 000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).

The end date of the public consultation phase is September 25th, 2023.

The IDA survey results will be compiled and submitted to ECHA and will publish the results.

The IDA survey must be completed and submitted before July 31, 2023.
