Keep one step ahead with PRIO

The PRIO tool helps you to find and replace substances that are hazardous for human health and the environment in your articles or chemical products. By replacing the use of particularly hazardous substances, you care about your employees, your customers, and the environment. It also contributes to creating non-toxic material streams, which provides the conditions for your products to be reused and recycled. It is an important step in the transition to a non-toxic circular economy.

In PRIO you will find substances that are banned as well as substances that are still allowed to be used. By phasing out the use of particularly hazardous substances you can keep one step ahead of the legislation and avoid substances that are about to be restricted or banned. It is good for both the economy and the environment.

Search for hazardous substances

PRIO is an aid to identify and prioritise particularly hazardous substances for substitution. The tool is a hazard-based model that is based on criteria. The criteria refer to the inherent hazard properties of individual substances.

You can use PRIO regardless of whether you manufacture, import or purchase articles and chemical products. PRIO gives easy access to information about

  • how hazardous your substances are
  • which substances that are listed on the EU Candidate List and see examples of how they are used
  • hazardous substances that may be present in materials or chemical products
  • which substances you should prioritise to avoid in your materials, articles or chemical products.

PRIO also provides tips on how to

  • work with replacing particularly hazardous substances, so-called substitution
  • work with chemical-related requirements when purchasing / procuring
  • access information, via link to the EU Chemicals Agency ECHA's tool EUCLEF, on what relevant legislation you may need to comply with.
