Proactive PFAS Management in Products Across Your Supply Chain

Proactively manage PFAS chemicals with software and testing services from UL Solutions

At UL Solutions, we understand the challenges you face in staying on top of the ever-evolving PFAS regulatory landscape while maintaining your position in a crowded and competitive marketplace.

Our experts can help you streamline your PFAS management in three simple steps:

1. Perform a risk assessment
   UL Solutions can help screen your portfolio and narrow it down to a smaller set of suppliers and product types that represent risks from PFAS chemicals.

2. Automate PFAS document collection from suppliers
   With ULTRUS™ WERCSmart® Retail Product Compliance software, your organization can automate supplier outreach to request product information and collect documentation and declarations specific to PFAS.

3. Identify if product testing is needed
   Based on the data collected through the product flow and declarations reviewed, UL Solutions can help you identify where product testing is needed to help mitigate compliance risks. Product testing identifies PFAS chemicals in high-risk products and can help you demonstrate the accuracy and credibility of claims of nondetectable PFAS levels.

How UL Solutions can support your PFAS strategy

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — or PFAS — are also known as “forever chemicals,” and thousands of substances belong to this chemical category.

PFAS recently gained greater attention from regulatory bodies in different states and countries due to concerns about their impact on human health and the environment.

PFAS are found in many articles and products intended for daily use, spanning a wide array of applications and uses, including food containers, carpets and textiles, paints, waterproof apparel, pesticides, formulated products and many more.
