Description

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.

Safety data sheets are the backbone of chemical safety communication. But as new substances emerge and regulatory updates occur, a static approach is no longer sufficient. Integrating the PACT list into your safety data sheet review process ensures you catch substances that could move onto the Candidate List or face additional restrictions.

By proactively cross-referencing the PACT list, chemical compliance teams can:

In short, the PACT list acts as an early warning system, empowering compliance teams to make data-driven decisions before legal requirements change.

Best Practices for Advanced Compliance Teams

For seasoned compliance professionals, it’s not just about having access to the PACT list — it’s about using it intelligently. Here are some proven strategies:

  1. Automate PACT List Checks: Leverage digital tools that automatically flag substances in your inventory that appear on the latest PACT list updates. This reduces manual errors and keeps your safety data sheets consistently up to date.

  2. Conduct Regular Internal Audits: Schedule periodic screenings of your chemical portfolio to ensure alignment with the evolving PACT list. This proactive approach reduces the risk of non-compliance surprises.

  3. Train Your Teams: Ensure that everyone involved in drafting or approving a safety data sheet understands the significance of the PACT list and how it influences REACH obligations.

  4. Engage with Suppliers: Open dialogue with upstream suppliers can help you anticipate and mitigate risks if a substance is flagged for restriction or authorization.

Conclusion: Turn the PACT List into a Compliance Advantage

The REACH regulation will continue to evolve, and the PACT list is a powerful tool to navigate this shifting landscape. By embedding PACT list checks into your safety data sheet screening, you protect your business, your customers, and the environment — all while demonstrating best-in-class chemical compliance practices.
