PRIO has been updated with a new substance group, Bisphenols, which includes around 20 structurally similar substances. The new substance group facilitates the identification of substances which, for example, are structurally similar to bisphenol A, and which are covered by PRIO's criteria.

PRIO is updated with the 2022 reported Products register data. The Swedish Chemicals Agency's Products register contains information on the use of substances in chemical products manufactured in or importeted to Sweden.
Two new criteria have been introduced in PRIO and three existing criteria have been updated. The new and updated criteria in PRIO are a consequence of the four new hazard classes being adopted and implemented in the CLP regulation. The changes mean that more substances with environmental and health hazards are covered by the criteria in PRIO and several new substances have been added to the database. Two new criteria PMT/vPvM - substances that are persistent, mobile and toxic or very persistent and very mobile at the phase-out substance level Potential endocrine disrupting – substances that are suspected endocrine disruptors for human health or the environment at the priority risk-reduction substance level Changes to three existing criteria PBT/vPvB – substances that are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent and very bioaccumulative at the phase-out substance level Potential PBT/vPvB - substances that are suspected to be persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent and very bioaccumulative at the priority risk-reduction substance level Endocrine disrupting – substances that are endocrine disruptors for human health or the environment at the phase-out substance level Read more about the PRIO criteria for phase-out substances and priority risk-reduction substances
The twenty first technical adaptation of the CLP Regulation, ATP 21, has now been adopted by the European Commission and published in the EU Official Journal. The amendment includes additional substances with harmonised classification to Annex VI of the CLP Regulation. For some substances listed in Annex Vl, ATP 21 implies that the classification has been revised. With the support of ATP 21, approximately 30 substances, which meet the PRIO criteria for phase-out substances or priority risk-reduction substances, were added to the PRIO-database.

In January 2024 the European Chemicals Agency ECHA updated the Candidate List with 5 new substances: 2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenol, EC-number 211-989-5, CAS-number 732-26-3 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, EC-number 221-573-5, CAS-number 3147-75-9 2-(Dimethylamino)-2-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]-1-[4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]butan-1-one, EC-number 438-340-0, CAS-number 119344-86-4 Bumetrizole, EC-number 223-445-4, CAS-number 3896-11-5 Oligomerisation and alkylation reaction products of 2-phenylpropene and phenol, list number 700-960-7 The substance dibutyl phthalate (EC-number 201-557-4, CAS-number 84-74-2) which already was on the Candidate List is now also identified as an endocrine disruptor for the environment. These substances are included in PRIO with the reference Candidate List .
