PFAS Resource Center
of the FSSA PFAS Task Force
The Fire Suppression System Association’s (FSSA) mission is to be the leading authority and advocate of special hazard fire protection. The FSSA vision is to ensure sustainable fire protection for people, property, and the environment.
With this in mind, the FSSA Board of Directors created a PFAS Task Force in response to growing concerns regarding proposed and/or promulgated legislation banning or restricting the use of some PFAS. PFAS are defined as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Within the fire protection industry, several widely used clean agents, including FK-5-1-12 (known as Novec™ 1230 fluid), HFC-227ea (FM-200®), HFC-125 (ECARO-25®), and HFC-236fa (FE-36®) are considered as PFAS under the broad OECD classification.
