Global Chemical Regulation Highlights | February 2026
In February of 2026, China approved six substances for use in food contact materials and notified seven new mandatory national standards for dangerous goods road transport while proposing stricter controls on harmful substances including PFAS and VOC in industrial products. South Korea consulted on amendments to the K-REACH Enforcement Rules to clarify joint registration data procedures, OR transfers, and chemical accident prevention plan reviews. Japan issued guidelines for a Substitute Chemical Name System for SDSs to protect trade secrets for lower-hazard substances and moved to expand ISHL SDS and labeling scope. Thailand proposed a single gateway for the transit of 18 hazardous substances. Australia introduced one new chemical into the AIIC inventory. The EU, via ECHA, added new substances to the SVHC list, updated annual evaluation statistics, and the European Commission amended BPA rules for food contact materials. The UK under UK REACH adopted a new strategic approach to its SVHC candidate list and unveiled a comprehensive PFAS plan. Canada amended Schedule 3 to CEPA to add hazardous substances to the Export Control List, aligning export controls with the Rotterdam Convention.
