"EFSA's Pesticide Peer Review Unit has launched a public consultation on a draft statement on consumer health-based guidance values on trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).

In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, in conjunction with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the European Commission requested EFSA to issue an EFSA statement and review the recommended toxicological reference values, i.e. acceptable daily intake (ADI) and acute reference dose (ARfD), for TFA. You can download the mandate via Open EFSA by clicking on the following link: https://open.efsa.europa.eu/question/EFSA-Q-2024-00502

As an outcome a draft statement has been developed by the EFSA Working group.

Interested parties are invited to submit their comments by the indicated deadline. When submitting the comments, specific reference to the line and page numbers to which the comments relate must be made.

Please, note that comments are limited to the draft statement and its annexes; no data submissions are requested. Assessments related to ecotoxicological, residues behaviour, environmental fate and behaviour of TFA are out of the scope of this mandate.

The name of any attached file shall include reference to the comment it refers to (e.g. comment identifier, topic, etc.). The file shall be in a searchable format and accessible to allow downloading. Scanned documents will not be considered.

An e-mail will be automatically sent to the person submitting the comments notifying the successful submission.

Comments will be considered as long as they:

• are submitted by the closing date of the consultation;

• are finalised (comments in “draft” status will not be accepted);

• are presented according to the instructions and relevant function in the tool (regrettably, we cannot accept comments sent by e-mail);

Comments containing personal accusations, irrelevant or offensive statements or material will not be considered. "
