The Community rolling action plan (CoRAP) for 2014-2016 has been published on ECHA's website. The update contains 120 substances that will be reviewed by 21 Member States under the substance evaluation process of REACH. The CoRAP list now includes 53 newly selected substances and 67 substances from the update published last year.
51 substances are being evaluated in 2014 by 20 Member States. In 2015 and 2016, the aim is to evaluate at least 48 and 21 substances, respectively. However, by the end of March 2015, this plan is going to be updated again and changes may be introduced for the substances in years 2015 and 2016. Also new substances may be added for those years.
In the CoRAP update, justification documents are provided to briefly explain the grounds for the initial concerns for each substance in 2014-2016. In many cases, the initial concerns are related to potential persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic properties, suspected endocrine disruption or carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic properties in combination with wide dispersive or consumer use(s).
The indication of the initial grounds for concern does not limit the evaluation made by the Member States, since the Member States may also focus their assessment into other concern areas they find relevant during the evaluation.
