The regulatory activity of the ECHA never stops. On short term we will see an update in the CLP-regulations of REACH, which focus on a much stricter regulation of endocrine disruptors (ED). The new guidance which will presumably be published in a few weeks will lead to new classification classes for EDs as well as a new labeling of EDs - with all the administrative efforts needed as a consequence. The new guidance will lead to more chemicals assessed and classified as EDs beyond the already named/known. These will automatically becoming ED class 1. Some fear that the new regulations could lead to the automatic banning of substances in future. At least it will lead to more expensive bureaucracy.
The new classsification/and labeling for any substance (existing and new) under REACH will come into force November 1st, 2026, and for mixtures containing EDs May 1st, 2028, respectively.

ECHA offers a webinar on the introduction to EHA's guidance on new CLP hazard-classes (21.11.2024). For details look here: https://echa.europa.eu/de/-/introduction-to-echa-s-guidance-on-new-clp-hazard-classes#msdynttrid=I9RT_MD_73v34ga01TssBIDokCJW1CTUfC74dofLO5w
