WORKING GROUPS

Working Groups

Working groups organized by application domain — each with a mission, target applications, required validation, potential members, and a first pilot candidate.

Cookware & Consumer Surfaces

Mission: Evaluate PFAS-free adoption on cookware and consumer surfaces
Target applications: PFAS-free cookware, heating plates, lifestyle surfaces
Required validation: Heat, release, wash-durability, food-contact safety
Potential members: Cookware/appliance makers, testing/cert bodies (candidates)
First pilot candidate: PFAS-free cooking-surface prototype (TBD)
