Iceland & Norway are also part of the REACH regulations governed by ECHA, so should they be on the map?

I don't think they are a part of REACH. They seem to be inside the
CLP Regulation, which is the "registration and evaluation" part but I'd need to make double sure on that one.

Wrong,CLP means Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemical substances and mixture, not registration and evaluation as indicated above. —Preceding

Iceland,
Liechtenstein,
Norway and
Switzerland are members of the
EFTA. The EFTA Convention established a free trade area among its Member States in 1960. Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway entered into the Agreement with the EU on the
EEA in 1992, which entered into force in 1994. Therefore, the EEA is composed of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and the 27 EU Member States.
REACH applies to EU Member States. Once incorporated into the EEA Agreement and implemented in the EEA-EFTA states, REACH will also apply to EFTA-EEA States, that is Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. This, for example, means that imports from Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein will be considered as intra-Community trade for the purposes of REACH.
To this end, EFTA is preparing a proposal for an EEA Joint Committee Decision, incorporating the Regulation and establishing the conditions for the EEA EFTA participation in the European Chemicals Agency. EFTA is targeting to have the Regulation incorporated by 1 June 2008.
Therefore, an importer of a substance from an EEA country will in future not be required to register the substance under REACH and will simply be regarded as a distributor or downstream user. However, his supplier established in an EEA EFTA-State will have to register the substance as a manufacturer under REACH and will be subject to the same obligations as all EU manufacturers. Importers of a substance from Switzerland (a non-EU country belonging to EFTA but not to EEA) will have the same obligations under REACH as any other importers.--

The European Chemicals Agency changed its visual identity in 2012. The new logo can be see at the Agency's website:
