PFAS exemptions under REACH for Aerospace & Defense

Video interview with Elisa Consoli

Watch this interview with Elisa Consoli, Reach & Chemicals Manager, ASD, for information on PFAS exemptions under REACH for the Aerospace and Defense industry.

Leigh Stringer, Managing Editor Europe, Chemical Watch News & Insight interviews Elisa Consoli, Reach & Chemicals Manager, Aerospace, Security & Defense Industries Association of Europe, at the Regulatory Summit Europe 2025 in Brussels, held on 7-10 April 2025.

Elisa Consoli explains that the possibility of PFAS exemptions under REACH for the A&D sector could be complicated as they would not be blanket exemptions. They would need to be substance specific and uses would need to be listed for an exemption request. These considerations combined with differing processes for jurisdictions creates a significant challenge.
