Proactively Manage PFAS in Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found in various components of electrical and electronic equipment.

They may be used in semiconductors, printed circuit boards, wires and cables, coatings, electrical insulation, seals and gaskets, computer hard drives, and many other elements.

The growing concern about the impact of PFAS on human health and the environment has led regulatory bodies to develop increasingly stringent rules to limit the use of these substances. Electrical and electronic products are among the impacted products.

UL Solutions can help. In this educational session, we’ll share the industry’s latest PFAS regulatory updates and provide insights into how you can proactively manage PFAS compliance within your chemical management strategy.

Key points we will discuss during the webinar:

• An overview of PFAS chemicals: what they are, why they are being banned, and where they are found
• The regulatory landscape, with a focus on EU and U.S. markets
• Markets with proposed PFAS regulations
• PFAS testing methodologies
• How to manage PFAS proactively within your chemical management strategy — with insights from UL Solutions
