Restriction/prohibition regulations

Major accident hazards (Seveso) ?

Hazardous substances listed in Annex I of the Seveso III Directive (Directive 2012/18/EU), transposed in Spain by Royal Decree 840/2015. Their presence in industrial establishments in quantities equal to or above established thresholds triggers obligations to implement major accident risk control measures.

List
Substances under PACT evaluation ?

Substances under active regulatory monitoring through ECHA's PACT (Public Activities Coordination Tool).
