On December 9, 2025, ECHA published the draft Community Rolling Action Plan (CoRAP) update covering the year 2026, 2027 and 2028.
Substance evaluation is the process under REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Articles 44 to 48) that allows generation of information for clarification of such potential risks. The CoRAP is a list of prioritized substances for evaluation over a period of three years. Member States evaluate substances listed in the CoRAP to clarify whether their use poses a risk to human health or the environment.
The list contains 28 substances, including 8 new substances compared to the current CoRAP 2025-2027. Out of the 28 substances to be evaluated, 17 substances are being planned for evaluation in 2026, and 10 substances are divided for evaluation in 2027 and 2028. However, for substances listed for years 2026 and 2027. One substance is proposed to be withdrawn.
Here is a list of 17 substances proposed to be evaluated in 2026:

Based on the substance evaluation results, the Member States may conclude that the risks are sufficiently under control. Otherwise, it may lead to the proposal of EU-wide risk management measures such as restrictions, identification of substances of very high concern or other actions outside the scope of REACH e.g. harmonised classification.
