On 7 November 2024, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) updated the Candidate List of Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006.
The ECHA Candidate List now contains 242 substances.
Background
After inviting interested parties to comment on the addition of potential new SVHC, the Member States Committee agreed on including one new substance to the ECHA Candidate List. Therefore, the list now contains 242 substances in total.
Once a substance is put on the Candidate List, producers, importers, or suppliers have information obligations if the article contains more than 0.1% of a SVHC. Notification of the ECHA is required as well if the total amount of the specific SVHC exceeds 1 ton/ year. Apart of this, article suppliers may also need to notify SVHC in their articles (if more than 0.1%) to ECHA’s SCIP database under the Waste Framework Directive.
Name | CAS no. (EC no.) | Reason for proposing |
|---|---|---|
| 115-86-6 | Endocrine disrupting properties |
