October 18 PFAS Regulations: How our SGS Labs Can Help You Comply 

As the October 18, 2024, date for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) new PFAS restrictions approaches, SGS is ready to assist with local expertise from our advanced Lakefield, Ontario laboratory. 

SGS has been a pioneer in PFAS testing and is well-positioned to support stakeholders in conforming to the new standards on commercial biosolids used as fertilizers. SGS has developed and validated EPA 1633 for the US EPA and is the leading lab network on EPA 1633 with multiple accredited lab locations across North America. Our Lakefield lab can provide the EPA 1633 testing required to meet the new CFIA T-4-132 regulation, which mandates that PFOS in biosolids be less than 50 parts per billion (ppb). Additionally, we offer specialized drinking water (DW) analysis for 25–40 PFAS compounds.
