As global scrutiny intensifies around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as ‘forever chemicals’, regulatory actions are accelerating across key markets. From Asia to Europe and the US, the electrical and electronic (E&E) industry is facing growing pressure to comply with a complex and evolving regulatory landscape.

In this live webinar, SGS expert Kevin Chen, Supervisor of Technical Support, EE Chemistry & Sustainability, Connectivity & Products, will explore how major global regions are addressing PFAS risks and the implications of these regulatory developments for businesses. Attendees will gain practical insights into evolving global frameworks, tailored testing strategies and real-world case studies to support informed decision-making and proactive compliance planning.
The event is aimed at regulatory affairs professionals, compliance managers, product developers, and sustainability teams working within the E&E industry.
The agenda includes:
– Regulatory landscape: USA, EU and Asia
– Total PFAS testing approach
– Case studies on PFAS solutions
– Q&A
This event takes place on May 29, 2025, and is available in two time-zone-friendly sessions: Session 1: 7:00 am (GMT +8:00) Asia/Taipei Session 2: 5:00 pm (GMT +8:00) Asia/Taipei
