Unfortunately, we have to inform our customer in the USA as per: 40 CFR Part 705 of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) requires all manufacturers and importers of PFAS into USA to submit a report to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by May 8, 2025. This report needs to provide an accurate representation of the amount of PFAS that entered the US market between 2011 and 2022. Each PFAS importer or manufacturer needs to submit this report per PFAS chemical, per site and per year. This applies to PFAS contained in mixtures (f.i. refrigerant gasses) as well as in parts (O-rings, gaskets, …). EPA identifies a molecule as PFAS if at least one of the below molecular structures is included. This scope includes fluoropolymers.
R-(CF2)-CF(R’)R’’, where both the CF2 and CF moieties are saturated carbons;
R-CF2OCF2-R’, where R and R’ can either be F, O, or saturated carbons; and
CF3C(CF3)R’R’’, where R’ and R’’ can either be F or saturated carbons
We therefore request your collaboration by informing us:
Which parts, components or mixtures contain PFAS
Which PFAS chemical(s) is/are present in impacted part(s) or mixture(s)
What is the PFAS concentration in impacted part(s) or mixture(s)
If the exact PFAS concentration is unknown a maximum concentration or range is also acceptable
When I go to the manufacturer website https://multicomp-pro.com/ I am always redirected to the Element14 or Farnell website and there is no information concerning PFAS.
Does the MULTICOMP PRO MP009288 USB Cable contain any PFAS elements?
Hello,
Welcome to the element14 Community - we do not have access to product information or datasheets here.
That being said, I do work with the multicomp pro team, and I have sent this request to them, right now it has been escalated to the manufacturer of the device.
I do not have a turnaround time for your answer, as this is very ad-hoc and outside of process, if/when I get it, I will reply here in this thread.
When I go to the manufacturer website https://multicomp-pro.com/ I am always redirected to the Element14 or Farnell website and there is no information concerning PFAS
The website for the product is here: MP009288 - Farnell / Newark / element14 APAC are the 'manufacturer' for this brand.
