US State PFAS Rules: A Period Underwear Evidence Matrix. Product developers, QA and procurement teams
Written for product developers, QA and procurement teams, US State PFAS Rules: A Period Underwear Evidence Matrix explains the decisions, records and approvals to control before the next quotation or sample release. Scope: New York and California PFAS rules, intentional addition and finished-SKU evidence.
Facts to verify first
- La loi New York couvre notamment les sous-vêtements et impose des déclarations sur les PFAS ajoutés intentionnellement.
- La Californie définit séparément les produits menstruels et prévoit un calendrier de mise en œuvre et des obligations de registration.
- Une déclaration fournisseur doit être reliée à la référence, au BOM, à la version et à la date de validité.
- Les seuils, méthodes et échéances doivent être vérifiés dans les textes et les règles d’application en vigueur au moment de l’importation.

NY apparel including undergarments
New York and California regulate different product scopes and impose different evidence duties. New York’s apparel framework includes undergarments, while California has a separate menstrual-product definition and implementation timeline.
California menstrual-product definition and timeline
Intentional-addition declarations and measured analytical thresholds are not the same evidence. A supplier statement may be relevant, but the exact legal test and reporting duty must be checked for the destination and product.
Intentional addition versus measured thresholds
Map every component that could contain PFAS: membranes, films, adhesives, prints, repellent finishes and trims. Link each supplier declaration to a material code, BOM version and validity date.
Supplier statements and finished-SKU testing
A material report does not automatically cover the finished SKU, and a finished-product result may not cover another colour or construction. State the sample identity, laboratory limit and scope on the face of the file.
State register and change control
Maintain a state-by-state register with effective dates, responsible entity, required declarations and change triggers. Reopen the file after a material, supplier, process or destination change.
