SGS webinar supports credible ‘No PFAS Detected’ claims amid growing regulatory scrutiny

BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / January 22, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is hosting a complimentary webinar, ‘PFAS Risk, Claims and Certification: Communicating ‘No PFAS Detected’ with Confidence’, on February 5, 2026.


Many per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are now recognized as a risk to human health and the environment. As PFAS regulations expand globally and enforcement intensifies, organizations face increasing pressure to manage unintended PFAS presence and ensure that related claims are accurate, substantiated and compliant. Clear, evidence-based communication has become essential to protect brand reputation and maintain market access.


Delivered in two sessions, the webinar is designed for industry professionals across consumer products, industrial goods and health and nutrition sectors. Presented by Keith Tsang, Global Softlines Development Manager (Session 1), and Michael Richardson, Sustainability Manager (Session 2), this session will examine global PFAS risk, regulatory and market drivers, the role of testing and certification, and the benefits of the SGS No PFAS Detected green mark. Each session will conclude with a live Q&A where participants will receive expert insights into their individual issues.


Session 1: 10:00 AM (CET)

Session 2: 4:00 PM (CET)
