In addition to the exemptions listed in Table 1 below, these include:<\/p><ul><li>Allowing the use of perfluorooctyl bromide containing perfluorooctyl iodide in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals<\/li><li>Allowing the use of articles containing PFOA, its salts, and PFOA-related compounds that are already in use before July 4, 2020<\/li><\/ul><p>According to preamble point 7, higher concentration limits should be established for applications that cannot meet the set values of 0.025 mg\/kg for PFOA and its salts and 1 mg\/kg for individual PFOA-related compounds or a combination of such compounds, subject to review by the Commission within two years to reduce the limits.<\/p><p>The provisions of the latest POP Recast amendment will come into effect on July 4, 2020\u2014the same date the restriction on PFOA, its salts, and PFOA-related compounds would typically apply under entry 68 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) 1907\/2006 (entry 68 of Annex XVII to REACH, SafeGuardS 97\/17).<\/p><p>It is important to note that the Commission is now planning to eliminate entry 68 of Annex XVII to REACH as PFOA, its salts, and PFOA-related compounds are now regulated by the POP Recast.<\/p><p><strong>Exemptions for Specific Categories Until July 4, 2023:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Textiles for worker protection against dangerous liquids<\/li><li>Manufacture of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for specific applications<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><br \/>Exemptions for Specific Categories Until July 4, 2025:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Photolithography or etching processes in semiconductor manufacturing<\/li><li>Photographic coatings applied to films<\/li><li>Invasive and implantable medical devices<\/li><li>Firefighting foams for Class B fires that are already installed in systems, subject to certain conditions<\/li><\/ul><p><br \/>For more detailed information on these regulations and
