applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2026-08-28
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The after text adds a new Part A entry for Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds, following the Dicofol entry, which was not present in the before text.
This new entry defines PFHxS and its related compounds, lists CAS and EC numbers, and sets out three specific exemptions concerning concentration thresholds in substances, mixtures or articles and in concentrated firefighting foam mixtures, with the third exemption noting review and assessment by the Commission no later than 28 August 2026.
No other wording in Part A or Part B of the Annex differs between the two texts shown.
