On 19 March 2024, ECHA published the latest annual update of the Community Rolling Action Plan (CoRAP) for 2024 - 2026. 28 substances are included in the updated list, of which 11 are newly allocated and 17 come from the previous CoRAP adopted in 2023.

CoRAP introduces a list of substances that are proposed for review by the EU Member States Competent Authorities under the substance evaluation process of REACH (Articles 44 to 48). The plan contains substances for which there is a suspicion that their use could pose a risk to human health or the environment.

Following substance evaluation by Member States, further information may be requested from the registrants of these substances if additional data is considered necessary to clarify the suspected risk. Alternatively, it may be concluded that the substance does not constitute a risk based on the available knowledge at the time and no further data is needed with respect to the evaluation activity.

From the date of publication of the CoRAP update 2024 - 2026, the respective Member States have one year to evaluate the 10 substances specified for 2024.
