PFAS in firefighting foams
The FIA has published the July 2025 update to its guidance on PFAS in Firefighting Foams, setting out the latest developments in both UK and EU restrictions.
While there’s currently no legal ban in the UK on supplying or refilling fluorotelomer-based (C6) AFFF, regulations are changing fast, particularly around legacy chemicals like PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS, all of which are already restricted under REACH and POPs.
