The Public Activities Coordination Tool (PACT) lists all substances for which an informal hazard assessment or an Assessment of Regulatory needs (ARN) is being developed or has been completed with the aim to identify potential SVHC. The listing of a substance in the PACT can be seen as a very early warning for companies allowing stakeholders to prepare for possible future requirements well in advance. New chemicals are added to the PACT on a regular basis. Please consult the PACT list.
