 53. Perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS)C8F17SO2X

(X = OH, Metal salt (O-M+), halide, amide,and other derivatives including polymers)

 1. Shall not be placed on the market, or used, assubstances or in mixtures in concentrations equalto or greater than 50 mg/kg (0,005 % by weight).

2. Shall not be placed on the market insemi-finished products or articles, or partsthereof, if the concentration of PFOS is equal toor greater than 0,1 % by weight calculated withreference to the mass of structurally or microstructurallydistinct parts that contain PFOS or, fortextiles or other coated materials, if the amountof PFOS is equal to or greater than 1 μg/m2 ofthe coated material.

3. By way of derogation, paragraphs 1 and 2shall not apply to the following items, nor tosubstances and mixtures needed to producethem:

 (a) photoresists or anti-reflective coatings for photolithography processes;

 (b) photographic coatings applied to films,papers, or printing plates;

 (c) mist suppressants for non-decorative hardchromium (VI) plating and wetting agentsfor use in controlled electroplating systemswhere the amount of PFOS released intothe environment is minimised, by fullyapplying relevant best available techniquesdeveloped within the framework ofDirective 2008/1/EC (*******);

 (d) hydraulic fluids for aviation.

4. By way of derogation from paragraph 1,fire-fighting foams that were placed on themarket before 27 December 2006 may be useduntil 27 June 2011.

6. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply withoutprejudice to Regulation (EC) No 648/2004of the European Parliament and of theCouncil (********).

7. As soon as new information on details ofuses and safer alternative substances or technologiesfor the uses becomes available, theCommission shall review each of the derogationsin paragraph 3(a) to (d) so that:(a) the uses of PFOS will be phased out assoon as the use of safer alternatives istechnically and economically feasible;(b) a derogation can only be continued foressential uses for which safer alternativesdo not exist and where the effortsundertaken to find safer alternatives havebeen reported on;(c) releases of PFOS into the environmenthave been minimised, by applying bestavailable techniques.

8. The Commission shall keep under reviewthe ongoing risk assessment activities and theavailability of safer alternative substances ortechnologies related to the uses of perfluorooctanoicacid (PFOA) and related substancesand propose all necessary measures to reduceidentified risks, including restrictions onmarketing and use, in particular when saferalternative substances or technologies, thatare technically and economically feasible, areavailable.
