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
Included to substances of very high concern in the Candidate List for eventual inclusion in Annex XIV on 8 July 2021 (Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment (Article 57(f) -
environment); Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to human health (Article 57(f) –human health); Carcinogenic (Article 57a)). The combined intrinsic properties which demonstrate scientific evidence of probable serious effects to human health and the environment and which give rise to an equivalent level of concern are the following: very high persistence, high mobility in water, potential for being transported in the water phase over long distances, difficulty of remediation and water purification. The observed probable serious effects for human health and the environment are carcinogenicity and yet unknown environmental effects. Together, these elements lead to a very high potential for irreversible effects.

Remarks
Stakeholders are requested to provide relevant information to the Dossier Submitter. If justified based on robust risk and socio-economic information the Dossier Submitter may propose derogations from the proposed restriction. If a derogation is not proposed by the Dossier Submitter then it will be incumbent on the relevant stakeholders to do so during any consultation process with a full risk and socio-economic justification accompanying it.
