Substance evaluation: Selection criteria for the Community Rolling Action Plan published

The selection criteria for substance evaluation have been developed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in cooperation with EU Member States and have now been published on the ECHA website. ECHA and the Member States are using these criteria to find suitable candidate substances for the first Community Rolling Action Plan (CoRAP), which will be adopted by ECHA in early 2012.

The Member States have preliminarily indicated an ability to evaluate around 40 substances in 2012 and 50 substances annually in 2013 and 2014.
