ECHA’s initiative on regulatory needs assessment aims to enhance the understanding of chemical substances requiring regulatory actions. This assessment is conducted by evaluating groups of substances based on their hazards, uses, and risks to human health and the environment. It helps stakeholders identify substances that need further investigation or regulatory measures, ensuring that chemicals of concern are addressed efficiently. The regulatory outcomes guide decisions on authorisation, restriction, and classification, leading to a safer and more informed chemicals market.
