Monitoring

Illustrative project

Watching 4 measures behind the verdicts

  • US TSCA section 8(a)(7) PFAS rule

    EPA moved the start of reporting from 13 April 2026 to 31 January 2027 at the latest. Rechecked, still to report.

    Status: To review
  • Minnesota PFAS in products reporting

  • EU universal PFAS restriction

  • Maine Revised Statutes, 38 §1614

What we need from you

Four things, shared at setup before the project starts.

  1. Your materials

    A list of materials, or your products with their safety data sheets or supplier declarations.

  2. Your markets

    Where you sell today, down to the US states with their own PFAS laws.

  3. Your priorities

    What’s most urgent for you, such as a reporting deadline or a customer’s question.

  4. Your approver

    The person who agrees the definitions and approves the review.

What teams ask about this project

Why check each material against more than one definition?

Because the definitions differ. The EU’s proposal and several US states count any fully fluorinated carbon, while EPA’s TSCA rule asks for one of three set structures. PVDF, for example, is a PFAS in the EU and Minnesota but isn’t reportable under TSCA.

Where does the evidence come from?

From the measures themselves: the regulations, the statutes and the regulators’ own guidance. Every verdict links to its source, so your team can check the wording directly.

What about additives we don’t know about?

Foresight checks the base material, and asks your suppliers about anything added to it, such as a fluorinated processing aid or coating. A material that isn’t a PFAS can still carry one, so the review records what each supplier confirmed.

Who checks the review before we use it?

The person you name. They agree the definitions before any checking starts, and check the verdicts against their sources at the end. Nothing is final until they approve it. These checks reduce the risk of error without removing it.

What happens when a rule changes?

Foresight rechecks the cells it affects, such as when a deadline or a derogation moves. The review your expert approved stays as it is until they accept the change.

What does it cost?

The price follows how many materials and markets the review covers. You see it with the scope, before any checking starts.
