On December 9, 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published the draft annual update of the Community Rolling Action Plan (CoRAP), covering the years 2026-2028. This plan identifies substances suspected of posing risks to human health or the environment, prioritizing them for substance evaluation under REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Articles 44–48).

•  8 new substances have been added compared to the previous 2025-2027 plan.
• 1 substance is proposed for withdrawal.

The published list includes non-confidential substance names, EC/List and CAS numbers, initial grounds for concern, and the contact details of the evaluating Member State.

Timeline
The draft was prepared in cooperation with Member States and submitted to the Member State Competent Authorities and the ECHA Member State Committee on November 27, 2025.

• February 2026: The Committee is expected to provide its opinion on the draft.
