It consists of nine single-frequency catalogues of compact sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, detected over the entire sky. The PCCS covers the frequency range 30–857 GHz with higher sensitivity (it is 90% complete at 180 mJy in the best channel) and better angular resolution (from 32.88′ to 4.33′) than previous all-sky surveys in this frequency band. By construction its reliability is >80% and more than 65% of the sources have been detected in at least two contiguous Planck channels. In this paper we present the construction and validation of the PCCS, its contents and its statistical characterization.cosmology: observations / radio continuum: general / submillimeter: generaljournal article10.1051/0004-6361/201321524http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2014/11/aa21524-13/aa21524-13.html54e5c8dd6c5e1b57ebee4d52
