PACT - Public Activities Coordination Tool

The public activities coordination tool (PACT) provides an overview of the substance-specific activities that authorities are working on under REACH and the CLP Regulation. These activities are being carried out in line with ECHA’s Integrated Regulatory Strategy.

PACT provides up-to-date information on the activities planned, ongoing or completed by ECHA and/or MSCAs for a given substance in the following areas:

Data generation and assessment – dossier evaluation, substance evaluation, informal hazard assessment (PBT/vPvB/ED).
Assessment of regulatory needs (ARN).
Regulatory risk management – harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) , SVHC identification, recommendations for inclusion in the Authorisation List, restriction.

A summary of all the substance-specific activities can be found under ‘Details’ for each entry.

Remarks

This substance is a degradation product of EC# 700-403-8, that was included in CoRAP 2013 and the SEv is concluded.
"Concern unresolved:
As a result of the evaluation of the submitted reproduction
developmental toxicity screening study in mice with sodium
perfluoroheptanoate, a potential for endocrine disrupting properties
is recognised. Based on the available information a definitive
conclusion could not be drawn, but in view of the ongoing restriction
proposal for undecafluorohexanoic acid, its salts and related
substances, further examination is not expected to result in
additional Risk Management Measures for the Substance.
5 ECHA Candidate List of substances of very high concern for Authorisation. Perfluoroheptanoic acid and its salts.
In the conclusion document for EC No 241-527-86 and EC No 218-
407-97, the German CA concluded that the available data clarifies
that PFHxA acts as an ED for the environment in accordance with
the Endocrine Disruptor definition of the World Health Organisation
(WHO).
However, for the moment there is no official identification of PFHxA
as ED for the environment by MSC or RAC."
