On September 25, 2025, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) will hold an informational webinar on product labelling requirements for PFAS at 1pm MT (3pm ET). To register, email NMED-PFAS@env.nm.gov.
Under HB212, enacted in April 2025, NMED is authorized to adopt rules requiring that manufacturers label products containing PFAS. Earlier this month, New Mexico’s Environmental Secretary reportedly told lawmakers that NMED would soon release draft regulations to implement HB 212, including labeling requirements.
PFAS Restrictions and Reporting Under HB 212
- Labeling authority: NMED may require PFAS labeling.
- Phased bans: Restrictions on intentionally added PFAS begin in 2027, expand to more product types in 2028, and culminate in a ban on most products in 2032. Exemptions apply for certain products, such as medical devices, and for uses designated by NMED as “currently unavoidable.”
- Reporting requirement: By January 1, 2027, manufacturers must report information on intentionally added PFAS, including purpose of use and amount (by CASRN).
More details are available on NMED’s PFAS webpage.
