New Mexico PFAS Compliance Guide
New Mexico PFAS compliance timeline
Update (Sept 16, 2026): A federal court (D.N.M.) granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of New Mexico's PFAS labeling regulation while litigation proceeds. The order does not affect the manufacturer reporting requirement (due Jan 1, 2027) or the phased sales prohibitions (2027/2028). Labeling is therefore currently unenforced — treat the label obligation as uncertain pending appeal.
Key dates
- <b>2025</b> — PFAS Protection Act (HB 212) enacted by the New Mexico legislature.
- <b>May 5, 2026</b> — rule 20.13.2 NMAC published.
- <b>July 1, 2026</b> — rule effective.
- <b>Jan 1, 2027</b> — first product <b>reporting</b> deadline through the NMPRS portal.
- <b>Jan 1, 2027</b> — product <b>labeling</b> requirement begins (manufactured-after date) and first <b>ban wave</b> (5 categories).
- <b>2028</b> — second <b>ban wave</b> (9 more categories).
The reporting, labeling, and ban obligations each have their own triggers — a product can be reportable and label-worthy while not yet banned, so each is checked separately.
