PFAS Labeling Language Approved for Specified Products in Connecticut
BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / January 21, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 001.26, highlighting the approval of labeling language for certain products containing intentionally-added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the US state of Connecticut.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) in the state announced an order in late 2025 approving the specific words, phrases or symbols required to inform purchasers when PFAS are intentionally added to products.
This follows the signing into law of SB 292, which restricts the sale of certain products with intentionally added PFAS unless they carry compliant labeling. This will be implemented from July 1, 2026, and is codified as Section 22a-903c of the Connecticut General Statutes.
SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 001.26 includes a concise table summarizing the order’s scope, labeling requirements and affected product categories.
Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 001.26 for more details.
