Article 8 8.

When next conducting the review referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Commission shall consider establishing a quality standard for PFAS Total in groundwater and aim to complement the guidance on monitoring PFAS Total in drinking water, developed in accordance with Article 13(7) of Directive (EU) 2020/2184, to make it applicable to monitoring PFAS Total in groundwater. Member States are encouraged to already apply that guidance to monitor PFAS Total in groundwater and to report the data in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 2000/60/EC. Considering the toxicity, persistence and prevalence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the environment, the Commission shall, at the next review, also consider establishing a quality standard for TFA separately, or as a part of a sum, in Annex I to this Directive.
