Some Experiences are Meant to be Thrilling. Compliance with Chemical Regulations Shouldn’t be.

The updated EU REACH regulation has further restricted the use of PFOA and related substances in the manufacture and marketing of goods in Europe.

But don’t worry: As always, you can rely on Gore to be able to meet regulatory requirements.

GORE® Vents meet the 25 ppb threshold limit for PFOA and its salts and the 1,000 ppb threshold limit for PFOA-related substances for articles specified in the EU REACH regulation EU 1907/2006 and in regulation EU 1021/2019 for Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention, which went into effect on July 4, 2020.
