Directive 2006/122/EC

PFOS has a potential for wide range environmental transport and the potential to produce adverse effects and therefore fulfill the criteria for being considered as persistent organic pollutants(POPs)

POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) are chemical substances that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate through the food web, and pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment.

PFOS on 2006/122/EC

May not be placed on the market or used as a substance or constituent of preparations in a concentration equal to or higher than 0.005% by mass.

May not be place on the market in semi-finished products or articles, or parts thereof, if the concentration of PFOS is equal to or higher than 0.1% by mass calculated with reference to the mass of structurally or micro-structurally distinct parts that contain PFOS or, for textiles or other coated materials, if the amount of PFOS is equal to or higher than 1µg/m² of the coated material.
