HSE Annex 15 restriction report on proposed PFAS restrictions
6-month public consultation closes for evidence on 18 February 2026.
HSE, in its role as the Agency for UK REACH with support from the Environment Agency, published an Annex 15 restriction report in August 2025 that assessed the risks to the environment and human health from the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foams (FFF).
We are suggesting restrictions on the placing on the market and use of PFAS in FFF, with sector-specific transition periods.
To inform the opinion-forming stage of the restriction process, a 6-month public consultation was launched when this report was published.
All stakeholders are reminded to consider the questions posed in the consultation and submit relevant evidence on PFAS in FFF including information on the suggested restrictions and sector-specific transition periods.
