Mapping of the chemical universe progresses
An updated list of mapped substances is now available on the ECHA website.
ECHA has created a mapping tool of all registered substances called the chemical universe in which each substance is assigned to a pool that indicates the regulatory actions already initiated or under consideration for that substance. Since the last update in August 2019, ECHA has mapped an additional 1 900 REACH registered substances. The mapping will contribute to the annual report on ECHA’s Integrated Regulatory Strategy, which will be published in April. ECHA’s aim is to have all registered substances screened and allocated to the pools by 2027.
