1. ASTM publishes a standard guide ASTM F3700-25 for selecting and applying analytical methods to evaluate PFAS in consumer and related products
On February 5, 2025, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) released the standard guide ASTM F3700-25 for selecting and applying analytical methods to evaluate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in consumer and related products, providing recommendations to select, apply, and interpret available preparatory and analytical methods and techniques to identify and quantify PFAS in different types of products, including consumer products and related products. This guide provides a flexible, defensible framework applicable to a wide range of product disclosures and restrictions. This framework can be considered when creating regulations and standards to address PFAS in consumer and related products. However, this guide does not set criteria for acceptable concentration limits.

10. The EU intends to impose restrictions on (PBDDFs) in the POPs Regulations
On March 25, 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced its intention to initiate a public consultation regarding the proposal to include polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, in the list of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention. Interested parties have eight weeks from the date of publication to submit comments, with the deadline set for May 20, 2025. Polybrominated dibenzodioxins (PBDDs) and polybrominated dibenzofurans (PBDFs), collectively known as PBDDFs, have persistent, bioaccumulation characteristics and long-distance migration capabilities, which may pose significant risks to the global environment and health.

11. European Union officially releases a guideline document on the restrictions of microplastics in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation
Recently, the European Commission released an explanatory guide for the new entry No. 78 in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation, which restricts synthetic polymer microparticles (also known as microplastics). This guide aims to assist stakeholders and EU countries in correctly understanding and implementing the new rules. This Guide consists of:
a narrative part (Part I) which describes in simple terms the provisions and the intended implementation of the restriction;
a set of “questions and answers” (Part II) which compiles replies provided to EU countries’ and stakeholders’ questions;
Annexes (Part III) with decision trees and examples of borderline cases.
This Guide emphasizes that polymers must fulfil two conditions to be considered as synthetic polymer microparticles (SPM):
As a first condition, to be regarded as SPM, the polymers have to be, at the same time:
- solid
- either synthetic polymers, or natural polymers that have been chemically modified
- organic (i.e. contain carbon atoms anywhere in their structure)
- not degradable, when tested in accordance with Appendix 15 of Annex XVII of REACH
- “insoluble”, i.e. they do not have a solubility higher than 2g/L when tested in accordance with Appendix 16 of Annex XVII of REACH.
As a second condition, to be regarded as SPM, the solid polymers must be either:
- contained in particles in concentration equal or greater than 1% w/w, i.e. the weight of the polymer(s) is between 1% and 100% of the total weight of the particle containing the polymer(s); or
- build a continuous coating around particles (including particles with a liquid core, such as vesicles); no concentration limit applies in this case; the coating needs to be “continuous”
12. EU updates the test method for PFAS in textiles and textile products
On April 30, 2025, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published a new version standard EN 17681-1:2025 ” Textiles and textile products – Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – Part 1: Analysis of an alkaline extract using liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry “. The updated standard will come into effect on October 31, 2025. This standard specifies a test method, including the degradation of certain side-chain fluorinated polymers during the extraction with simultaneous alkaline hydrolysis, and using liquid chromatography (LC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for identification and quantification of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The document is applicable to all materials of textile products.
