REACH 2.0 focus on improving / updating the Risk management of chemicals in the EU

• Criteria to define the essential use of most harmful chemicals;
• Implementation of CLP criteria;
• Substitution study outcome and what that means;
• Interface between and product legislation: batteries, ELVs, ROHS, detergents regulation, … and other product legislation;

• PFAS restrictions – state-of-the-art and consequences;
• OSOA (how to make this understandable for general factory manager?)
• Practical implementation of refinement of ES to meet the MAF; 

But also other aspects may require attention:

• How to achieve better focus on “what matters”:
• The need for more and better prioritisation;
