Inclusion in the list means that an informal hazard assessment for PBT/vPvB properties either is under development or has been completed since February 2013.

For each substance, the table shows the assessing or evaluating Member State (submitter), the outcome from the assessment, and the date of the latest update to the list entry.

Other process details and hazard assessment outcome documents are also available and can be accessed through the ‘Details’ icon.

One possible outcome of such an assessment is that a substance is considered not to have PBT/vPvB properties.

If the outcome is that the substance is considered to have PBT/vPvB properties, confirmation through the formal risk management and decision-making processes is needed before any regulatory action can be taken due to these properties.

The intentions of authorities to submit a dossier to the formal REACH and CLP processes are notified through the Registry of Intentions. All biocidal active substances have to undergo a formal PBT assessment. You can see the status of biocides assessments on the Biocidal Active Substances page.
