Maine PFAS Regulation Deadline Extended to 2025
Deadline for reporting PFAS under Maine’s new regulation pushed to January 1, 2025
On June 1, the U.S. state of Maine approved an amendment to the state’s PFAS regulation extending the reporting deadline to January 1, 2025.
The regulation mandates reporting requirements for any products sold in the state of Maine which contain intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The original reporting deadline in the initial publication of the regulation was January 1, 2023.
With this new deadline extension, affected companies will have an additional two years to comply with the regulation. The changes made in the amendment are made retroactive to January 1, 2023.
In addition to extending the reporting deadline to January 1, 2025, the amendment also:
- Authorizes reporting the amount of total organic fluorine if the amount of each PFAS compound is not known,
- Allows the amount of PFAS to be reported based on information provided by a supplier rather than testing,
- Clarifies the packaging exemption under the law regulating PFAS in products,
- Exempts from PFAS reporting requirements manufacturers that employ 25 or fewer people,
- Clarifies that the requirements and prohibitions of PFAS in products do not apply to used products or used product components, and
- Makes other technical clarifications to PFAS reporting requirements.
The full text of the regulation and the amendment can be found online. GreenSoft Technology’s summary of the regulation requirements can be found on our blog.
GreenSoft Technology offers a PFAS solution for manufacturers
With the new reporting deadline of January 1, 2025 over a year away, now is the time to start preparing for the effective date by collecting data from the supply chain and evaluating products for the presence of PFAS.
GreenSoft Technology’s Data Services solution provides affected companies with the chemical data from their supply chain that is needed to comply with the Maine PFAS regulation.
Our data collection team will contact your suppliers to obtain data on the substances contained in your product and components. We’ll validate that data for accuracy and completeness, and then check it against the U.S. EPA’s Master List of PFAS Chemicals (the list which the Maine PFAS regulation references to identify PFAS substances), as well as any other global environmental regulations you must comply with.
With our Turnkey Service, we can generate the necessary compliance reports for you. Or you can use our GreenData Manager software to manage your company’s substance database and generate reports for this and other environmental regulations.
