Update the EU PBT Assessment List to the Latest Version!

The EU PBT/vPvB Assessment List is an official database maintained by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to track and publish chemical substances undergoing or having completed assessment for PBT/vPvB properties under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). As of June 2026, the latest version of the EU PBT Assessment List comprises 253 unique substances, with a total of 341 assessment entries. ——PBT substances are chemicals that are Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic. Such substances resist degradation in the environment, accumulate in organisms, and exert adverse effects on living organisms or ecosystems. ——vPvB substances are chemicals that are very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative. Even where direct toxicity data may be insufficient, their exceptionally high accumulation potential renders them a significant threat to the environment and human health. Note: Inclusion in this list does not equate to formal identification as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) or the imposition of regulatory restrictions. Final confirmation of PBT/vPvB properties requires scientific evaluation by ECHA's Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) and Socio-Economic Analysis Committee (SEAC), followed by formal decision-making by the European Commission, before any regulatory measures may take effect.
