Mise à part REACH, le principe de substitution a également été introduit dans la révision de la législation relative aux pesticides, la réglementation relative aux produits biocides (BPR, règlement (UE) 528/2012) et la réglementation relative aux produits phytopharmaceutiques (PPR, règlement (CE) 1107/2009).

Besides REACH, the substitution principle has also been introduced in the revision of the pesticides legislation, the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) and the Plant Protection Products Regulation (PPR, Regulation (EC) 1107/2009). Biocidal substances are used to protect humans, animals, materials or articles against harmful organisms, like pests or bacteria. The new biocidal products regulation entered into force in September 2013 and introduces exclusion and substitution criteria for “substances of concern”. Active substances meeting the exclusion criteria should not be approved (Article 5 BPR). These include CMR substances (CLP classification in category 1A or 1B), endocrine disruptors that may cause adverse effects in humans or identified as SVHC according to Article 57(f) REACH, and PBT or vPvB substances (fulfilling criteria of Annex XIII REACH). Similarly, the Regulation on plant protection products (PPR), entered into force in 2011, defines approval criteria (Annex II, 3.6-8). No approval should be given to active substances, safeners or synergists that are CMR (CLP category 1A or 1B) or endocrine disrupters which may cause adverse effects in humans.
