The Restricted Substances List under Annex XVII of the EU REACH Regulation

The Restricted Substances List in Annex XVII of the EU REACH Regulation has expanded from an initial 52 entries to the current 73 entries (Annex XVII contains 78 entry numbers in total, though some substances under specific entries have been removed during revisions while the entry numbers remain retained). The latest update, released on October 4, 2023, introduced Entry 78, which restricts synthetic polymer microparticles.
