ECHA shortlists substances for possible regulatory action

02 February 2016

The Agency has selected nearly 300 substances from REACH registrations for further scrutiny by the Member State competent authorities. The competent authorities will carry out a manual examination of the dossiers they prioritise to decide whether there is a need for regulatory action.
The selection is based on an automated IT screening focusing on substances with e.g. potential carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction, persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic, or endocrine-disrupting properties. ECHA does not make the list public as it is purely based on automated selection by IT and manual verification is needed to confirm a potential concern (ECHA News Alert, 27 January 2016).
