Geneva (March 30, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 067.25 to keep stakeholders informed about an additional delay to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reporting requirements for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Under ‘Toxic Substances Control Act Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances’ (‘TSCA PFAS Reporting Rule’), signed into effect on September 28, 2023, businesses that have manufactured or imported PFAS, including PFAS containing articles, for commercial purposes between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2022, must report designated PFAS compounds to the EPA. The original submission period under the law was from November 12, 2024, to May 8, 2025, with an additional six months for small businesses. This was then pushed back by eight months on September 5, 2024.

The EPA has now announced a second delay, pushing back the reporting period to April 13, 2026 – October 13, 2026, with a date of April 13, 2027, for small manufacturers reporting exclusively as article importers.

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that may impact their business. SafeGuardS 067.25 contains details of the reporting rule delay, including information on the reasons behind the change and an additional consultation.

Stakeholders are advised to review the original SafeGuardS 067.25 for further details.
