ECHA launched a public consultation on the harmonised classification1 of Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) on May 26, 2025. The proposal will be further discussed at the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) in 2026.

The European Environmental Bureau (EEB) submits this comment to the consultation to support the proposed new and modified hazard classes, wich are: Repr. 1B; cute Tox. 3; PMT; vPvM.

The EEB supports this proposal and trusts that RAC will perform a scientifically sound and evidence based assessment, which EEB believes will confirm the well-founded proposed classification of TFA.
