Reach (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) is a regulation enforced by the European Union to ensure the safe use of chemicals within the EU, including in consumer products such as clothing.
PFAS, or Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of chemical compounds commonly used in waterproof fabrics due to their water and stain-resistant properties.
the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is presently conducting a public consultation on restricting the use of PFAS in various applications, including textiles.
If the proposed restriction is implemented, it will impose a limit of 1 µg/m2 for the sum of PFHxA, PFOA, PFOS, and their salts and precursors in textiles intended for consumer use or professional use where there is a risk of exposure to the substances.
The Reach PFAS limit requirement for waterproof jacket fabrics means that the fabrics used in waterproof jackets must not exceed certain levels of PFAS chemical compounds.
The limit is set to protect human health and the environment, as PFAS have been linked to several health concerns, such as cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and immune system problems.
Additionally, PFAS are persistent chemicals that do not break down easily and can accumulate in the environment. Therefore, limiting their use and exposure is important for the environment and public health.
Manufacturers of waterproof jacket fabrics must comply with Reach regulations and ensure that their products meet the specified limits for PFAS.
The testing and certification process involves analyzing the composition of the fabric and ensuring that it meets the standards set by Reach.
Compliance with Reach regulations is necessary to ensure that the waterproof jacket fabrics are safe for consumers and the environment.
