Summarise this article

The CoRAP 2025–2027, published by ECHA, lists 28 substances proposed by Member States for REACH evaluation. It includes new and existing entries across sectors such as chemicals, coatings, plastics, and electronics. Companies are urged to assess their use of listed substances and prepare for potential regulatory action.

What is the CoRAP 2025–2027 and who is responsible for it?

CoRAP is the EU’s rolling plan for substance evaluation under REACH. While ECHA publishes the list, Member States are responsible for proposing and evaluating substances based on identified concerns.

How can businesses prepare for REACH evaluations under CoRAP?

Companies should check if any of their substances are listed in the 2025–2027 CoRAP, monitor evaluation timelines, and engage with evaluating authorities early to manage risks and compliance obligations.

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published the 2025–2027 update to the Community Rolling Action Plan (CoRAP), listing 28 substances proposed by EU Member States for evaluation under the REACH Regulation. Released on 25 March 2025, the list includes chemicals suspected of posing risks to human health or the environment. With evaluations scheduled across eight national authorities, the update signals significant regulatory scrutiny for manufacturers and service providers in sectors ranging from plastics to coatings, electronics, and consumer goods.

Newly listed chemicals raise regulatory pressure

Thirteen of the 28 substances are new additions. These include substances flagged for endocrine disruption, mutagenicity, and PBT/vPvB properties. For example, triethyl phosphate—used in flame retardants and electronics—and tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate—found in lubricants and adhesives—are among those scheduled for evaluation in 2025.

Fifteen substances are carried over from the 2024–2026 CoRAP. For 12 of these, evaluation has been postponed to allow for dossier updates. Carbon black, widely used in plastics and rubber, remains on the list due to its broad exposure profile and cumulative risk concerns, particularly in occupational settings.

Impacts across the value chain

Manufacturers, importers, and downstream users must closely review their chemical inventories. Substances on the list are used in sectors such as chemicals, plastics and rubber, paints and coatings, electronics manufacturing, textiles, and cosmetics.

Potential outcomes of the evaluations include further data requirements, reclassification, or restrictions. According to ECHA, “early interaction with evaluating authorities is strongly encouraged,” especially for substances due for evaluation in 2025.

Role of Member States and next steps

Under REACH (Articles 44–48), Member States propose and conduct evaluations of substances they suspect may pose risks. The CoRAP, maintained by ECHA, is updated annually based on proposals and assessments from national authorities.

In this cycle, evaluations will be led by Member States including France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and others. Evaluations are set to begin in 2025 for eight substances, 2026 for fifteen, and 2027 for five, although these timelines may change in the 2026 update.

Stakeholders can consult the dynamic CoRAP table on ECHA’s website to track individual substances and timelines.
