ECHA’s fourth report on the operation of REACH and CLP, covering 2021‑2025, confirms that implementation of the EU’s chemical safety laws continues to advance. The study shows that the focus has shifted from meeting registration deadlines to a systematic review of substances already in the database. Screening and prioritisation activities produce targeted data and risk‑management actions, allowing quicker regulatory responses and contributing to lower emissions and exposure for consumers and workers. The report also highlights challenges such as data availability, quality, and timely updates, which are essential for effective risk assessment and chemical management. Additionally, the increased workload of ECHA’s scientific committees is noted as a limitation of the current framework.
