In 2021, ECHA continued the mapping of registered substances to identify those requiring risk management or more data to verify hazards.

ECHA assessed 250 high-volume chemicals that had not been assigned to any regulatory pool in the chemical universe leaving around 1 300, where the need for regulatory action still has to be reviewed. This progress will keep ECHA on target to assess all registered substances by 2027.
